Cracking Stories Creatively Told
Impossible Dream
Impossible Dream is a poetic theatre production telling the story of Leicester City’s incredible English Premier League win of 2016, told through the eyes of artist - Frank.
Frank is forty and caring for his dad who has dementia. Although times are tough, they are both lifelong Leicester City fans and about to witness the greatest sporting underdog story of modern times.
Dealing with difficult themes, but full of humour and heart, this is a dose of feelgood in dark times and a hymn to teams and supporters of all tribes and types.
The First Forty-Five
For his birthday, Frank is given a book that forces him to reflect on his follies, foibles and flaws as he candidly considers what may, or may not have been the first half of his life.
Full of Matthewman’s trademark mix of amusing musical musing and poignant poetic pondering, the show is set during the second Covid lockdown, and in the run-up to Leicester City’s fifth attempt to win the FA Cup final after failing in the previous four.
A sequel to Impossible Dream, it premieres in the summer of 2027.
A Christmas carol
Chris Matthewman’s A Christmas Carol is a fresh and funny take, on Dickens' renowned redemption tale.
An evening of comic Christmas capers, witty, wintry wordplay and fine festive fun, this is the well-loved seasonal story presented in a way you have never seen or heard it before.
As you might well expect, the show will be on the road in December 27.
