Griselda’s Grandad
Griselda’s Grandad – A Lyme Regis Christmas Shantymime
21st-31st December 2011 at The Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis
“Right Griselda…” said her Mum “…we’re off. Cruise ships don’t wait for latecomers!” The car door slammed and her Mother disappeared laughing in a cloud of dust and perfume. Behind her loomed the farmhouse. Stamping her feet she growled in frustration. A Christmas with Grandad and no TV. What could be more boring!
Griselda’s boring holiday unravels in a boring old house full of boring old books about boring old stories. Butfrom behind the commemorative plates and between the drafty floorboards come tales of Christmases past. Is Grandad as boring as he seems? Will Griselda get more than she bargained for?
Join Shanty at The Marine Theatre this December as they tell local tales from a time gone by and take a journey to the real heart of Christmas.
