After last year’s five-star festive performance The Holly King and The Oak King, we are returning to Battersea Arts Centre with another immersive family adventure to enchant audiences at the world renowned BAC!
A Merry Misrule!
Across Europe, mischievous Yuletide traditions have run riot and it’s up to YOU to save Christmas from chaos. Guided by the rousing ‘Resistance Rabbit’, wander through enchanted lands and meet characters intent on causing disruption to the most wonderful time of the year.
Can you join the mission to bring harmony back to Christmas?
‘We’re thrilled to reunite with Battersea Arts Centre this Christmas, bringing a bold new show that weaves together nature, storytelling, and play in a wondrous celebration of the winter season.’
Liz Pickering, Deputy CEO Wild Rumpus.
