The Night Before Christmas

The Night Before Christmas

With all the Pantomimes cancelled, poor Diddles has nothing to do and is alone after a long isolated year, at home, and it looks like Christmas won’t be any different.  Or will it?

Diddles finds his friends have been up to all sorts to brighten up Christmas and share with him those special moments to make everyone’s Christmas as magical as ever. (Oh yes they have!) 

Look out for TikTokly Come Dancing, The Great Dame Off, Piddlington’s got talent, songs and laughs from some of your favourite panto friends and much more.

This is a special online production brought to you by all at Hessle Theatre Company for free. 

Premiering on our YouTube channel on Saturday 19 December at 8pm
And then available for all to watch throughout the Christmas period.

No one does Christmas Panto quite like Hessle Theatre Company!

About the play

“Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived…”

Admired, vilified, dehumanised. Three Catherines, two Annes and a Jane. Six women with one thing in common – marriage to a man called Henry – have passed into historical legend. Of course, it couldn’t happen these days…

Six modern women have also married one man. Their lives are both separate and intertwined as they tell their stories from a room in which they have all once lived. Their experiences – miscarriage, love affairs, betrayal, and a shared loathing of all things ginger – are portrayed with humour, pathos and a great deal of wine.

The plight of those sixteenth century women is personal, poignant and still relevant five hundred years on.

Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer’s play was first performed in St Albans in 2004 and went on to enjoy sell-out runs in Edinburgh and Jermyn Street. The Regina Monologues is packed with opportunities for humour and pathos, and richly woven with ‘in jokes’ relating to the wives’ real historic counterparts.

Urinetown

Following discussions with Hull Truck Theatre, we hope to be able to bring you this show during September 2022 and will confirm more details as soon as we have them.

URINETOWN is a hilarious and resonating tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.

It is a social and political satire set in a fictional future where a terrible 20-year drought has crippled the city’s water supplies. Water is so scarce that the government enforces a ban on all private toilets in an effort to control water consumption. Citizens who try to circumvent the peeing-fee by relieving themselves in the bushes, risk being taken away to “Urinetown”, a mysterious place where many have been sent but no one ever returns…



“A declaration of the power of theatre!” (The New York Times, 2001) “The show’s glorious message is: Hey, it’s only theatre, but isn’t it wonderful? And did I mention it’s hilarious? Simply the most galvanizing theatre experience in town.”


The New York Observer called the show “fresh, unique, impudent, colourful, irreverent, exciting and wonderful!”
