Weymouth-based, award-winning theatre company Brave Bold Drama is delighted to be bringing its Christmas characters, hapless but well-meaning event organisers, Noel & Holly to Weymouth this December for FREE STREET THEATRE. Commissioned as part of Portland & Weymouth’s Towns of Culture REVEAL project, this hilarious and family-friendly performance will take place in Weymouth Town Centre as Noel & Holly roam St Mary Street, St Thomas Street, Bond Street and New Bond Street. Offering Cracking Christmas Tips as they wander, spectators can expect hi-jinx and hilarity.
When: Thursday 18th December and Friday 19th December: 11.15am to 12pm, 1.15pm to 2pm and 3.15pm to 4pm.
You can also catch Noel & Holly at St Nics Gallery for the ridiculous festive family show – YULE BE MERRY. There are multiple shows in the gallery and are offered on a ‘pay what you can’ basis to ensure they’re accessible for all the community.
Holly & Noel attempt to assemble a 12 Days of Christmas themed event to a tight deadline and a demanding boss. In the face of insurmountable tech glitches, escaped poultry and unavoidably delayed ballet dancers, Noel and Holly are determined to press on regardless. After all, they do have the pear tree…
Expect broad visual comedy, bold engaging characters and quirky humour for all ages in this heartwarming, family-friendly show. A pay-what-you-can festive treat and antidote to panto – shorter, sillier and bursting with joy!
Best suited to those aged 4+
Rocca Holly-Nambi, Director of b-side, who are coordinating Towns of Culture 2025 said: “There’s something brilliantly human about Yule Be Merry. Brave Bold Drama captures the chaos of the festive season perfectly – it’s funny and full of heart. This is exactly the kind of work REVEAL was designed to champion: creative, accessible and based in local life.”
