Do you remember your last great Christmas - the tidings and good cheer? Do you remember when the Yuletide brought with it genuine joy? Do you remember it slipping through your fingers more and more each year?

Hot Kitchen Collective presents CHRISTMAS PAGEANT, a brand new devised performance celebrating the overindulgence and mass-produced joy of the biggest holiday of the year, and the sadness that lies underneath. CHRISTMAS PAGEANT will bring you a slice of home - like a delayed layover at the airport, a cold casserole, or a gifted sweater that's a little too snug and a little too itchy.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT was made for:

• Anyone who has felt alone on Christmas in a room full of family members

• Anyone who exhausts themselves keeping the spirit of the season alive, and somehow never reaches it

• Anyone who has ever longed for someone or something from holidays past

Hot Kitchen invites you to join us in this cathartic celebration.
