Trinity Theatre announces cast and creative team for Christmas shows

Trinity Theatre have announced the nine strong cast who will play multiple roles across three shows this Christmas, running from 14 December 2022 - 2 January 2023.

Co-writers of The New Musketeers, Jack Michael Stacey (The Play that Goes Wrong, West End) and Dannie Harris (Marriage, BBC) will play Mousqueton and Planchet respectively, with Harris also writing original songs for the show. Matthew Howell,  best known as one half of one half of sketch duo Horrigan and Howell, will round off the trio as Richelieu. The writing room is completed by Sean Turner who also directs The New Musketeers and Miracle on 34th Street. When the famous Musketeers are  lost at sea, their servants are left with an important mission to complete in this major new family comedy. This festive frolic for all the family features brilliant music, terrible sword fighting and  magical production designs from Tony Award winning set designer Nigel Hook.

Irfan Damani (Gangsta Granny, UK Tour) and Winnie Southgate (Miss Julie, CAST) will take on the roles of Sniff and Splat in the fast-paced family fun fest, The  Aliens Who Saved Christmas. Little aliens in the audience are invited to join these brave and  blundering visitors from outer space as they embark on a hapless but well-meaning mission to save Christmas. Southgate has penned this new play for young audiences. She and Damani will also perform supporting roles  in The New Musketeers. 

Seven actors perform every character in Lance Arthur Smith’s Christmas tale, Miracle on  34th Street, with sound effects produced onstage in this live musical radio play version of the classic story. Max Kinder (News Revue, Canal Café) will voice Fred Gailey, Jesse Ashby (The Brothers Grimm present Cinderella, Barn Theatre) will voice Kris Kringle and Hollie Anne Price will make her professional  debut in the role of Doris Walker. Will Taylor (The Play That Goes Wrong, Tour;) will play an incredible fourteen roles across the casts of The New Musketeers and Miracle  on 34th Street! The cast is completed by eleven-year-old Ellie Canning in the role of Susan Walker.
