Glenn Chandler’s The Boy Under the Christmas Tree officially gets its world premiere tonight (14 December 2018) at London’s King’s Head Theatre and Santa has just delivered some holly-jolly publicity shots. Check out our gallery below – and then get booking!
The Boy Under the Christmas Tree, written and directed by Glenn Chandler, runs at the King’s Head Theatre from 11 December 2018 to 5 January 2019, with a press night on 14 December.
When aspiring comedian Lawrence Bennett wakes up on Christmas morning, after a bad gig and with a king-size hangover, and finds a handsome young man almost naked under his Christmas tree, he wonders if Santa has finally delivered. The beautiful youth doesn’t know how he got there or what his name is or where he came from. The doctor thinks he might have had a bang on the head. The local copper suspects he may be a wanted criminal. As for Santa Claus, he’s on another planet.
Newcomers Jamie Loxton (recently graduated from ALRA) and Daniel Grice (Arts Ed) both make their professional debuts in the production, playing Lawrence and the titular Boy, respectively. The cast is completed by Sam Sheldon as The Visitations.
