Vote Christmas

The most divisive, most controversial, most hotly contested referendum of the century is upon us – a vote on the future of Christmas! Performed by the Strange Town 11-14 Friday group.

Vote Christmas

About Vote Christmas

With the vote open to those aged 14 and above, Pro- and Anti-Christmas factions within PeculiarTown Youth Theatre are ready for action. The dress run for the end-of-term show approaches, offering each group one last chance to make their case heard.

From saccharine Christmas propaganda to the antics of Just Stop Christmas, it promises to be a polarised affair. With all friendships badly frayed by this fierce Christmas argument, will the members of PeculiarTown Youth Theatre survive this democratic split?

Written by Emily Ingram & Gerry Kielty, directed by Amy Wilson. Performed by the Strange Town 11-14 group (Fridays).
