Synopsis

A magical fantasy adventure for the whole family, adapted from John Masefield’s 1935 novel.

When Kay Harker returns home for the Christmas holidays, he meets an old magician who entrusts him with a mysterious, magical box – the Box of Delights. The box has incredible powers and Kay is quickly entangled in a thrilling adventure involving time travel, magic and sinister forces.

As Kay struggles to protect the box, he must outwit those who want to use the box for evil and preserve the magic of Christmas. Along the way he encounters mythical creatures, shifting realities and the rich folklore of a fantastical world.

The play is a festive, fast-paced blend of mystery and enchantment, filled with wonder and the spirit of childhood adventure.
