A drive-in pantomime is coming to a car park near you this Christmas, Besties!

Birmingham Stage Company’s Horrible Christmas – inspired by the Horrible Histories series - will tour outdoor venues across the country in cities including Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and many more (exact locations and dates to be announced on 1 October).

The performance will abide with social distancing guidelines, with audiences having tickets scanned through their car windows and cars will be spaced more than 2 metres apart. The performance will be watched from inside their vehicles and sound can be picked up via their radios.

Birmingham Stage Company Manager/Actor, Neal Foster, said: "We were thrilled to be invited to take part in the run of Car Park Party events around the country and were overwhelmed by the response of the audience, who were clearly delighted and relieved to see actors live on stage again.

"I was totally surprised by just how well Car Park Theatre worked and loved the whole collective experience. We can't wait to be back on stage in cities and towns that will be crying out for a Christmas show to entertain their families.”
