Paul Lawless in Yule Be Merry
In the run-up to Christmas, they are bringing their comic family show Yule Be Merry to St Werburgh’s City Farm, performing twice daily on December 21-24.
Gill Simmons (artistic director) and Paul Lawless (creative producer) are Holly and Noel, the event planners tasked with producing a ’12 Days of Christmas’-themed extravaganza from their boss.

Chaos ensues, fuelled by “insurmountable technical glitches, escaped poultry and unavoidably delayed ballet dancers” but the organisers are determined to find a way through.
The show takes place outdoors but under cover, and audiences are advised to wrap up appropriately for the weather.
