“Nasty but nicely comic entertainment…in 'Owdyado’s twisted world nothing is ever what it seems” Lyn Gardner (Twisted Tales Outdoors)

After the successful Twisted Tales Vol.1&2 and Twisted Tales Outdoors, ‘Owdyado Theatre present their first seasonal show - Twisted Christmas. Featuring writers from Cornwall and across the UK, this selection of original dramas includes tales of how to buy the perfect gift for your unloved ones, the dark side of Christmas cracker jokes, and why you should never turn your back on a panto dame.

With new stories added every year, you’ll never see the same show twice.

Influenced by cult classics such as Inside No.9, The Twilight Zone and Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, Twisted Christmas promises a darkly comic evening of macabre mini plays all with a festive flavour!
