Based on the Elizabeth Gaskell stories and the hit TV series featuring the likes of Judi Dench, Imelda Staunton and Julia McKenzie - the play is the story of one Christmas in the village of Cranford...
Deep in the frosty English countryside, chestnuts are roasting and carols are being sung as the folk of Cranford busily prepare for Christmas. Join Miss Pole, Miss Matty and Mrs Jamieson as they warm their frozen hands on cups of cocoa and bedeck the houses with holly and mistletoe. But beyond this cosy hubbub of festivity, and when disaster strikes, the community must unite to keep the spirit of Christmas alive. A heart-warming tale of charity and goodwill to all women and men to celebrate the most magical time of year.
By Laura Turner, Based on the Cranford Stories by Elizabeth Gaskell
