Stage: 100 Tails Of Us – A magical tale of hidden lives and secret letters!

With plenty of seasonal theatre offerings in and around the city this Christmas you may feel spoilt for choice. Pantomimes, Christmas shows, ballet and concerts… something for all the family maybe, or are you looking for something for the really young, something the right length that will capture their imagination and suit their attention span? Well look no further than the Theatre Royal Brighton where young children and their families are in for a treat this Christmas as they follow this funny and enchanting story around hidden parts of this beautiful and historic theatre.

Deep within the theatre a son and daughter of two different families make an exciting discovery – each other’s existence! They are not alone, as the elders had them believe.
 
As you peer through tiny keyholes, open miniature doors and read teeny notes in secret code a hidden world is revealed, and it’s much bigger than anyone imagined.

Following the sell-out success of A Winter’s Trail and Amongst the Stars, award-winning Herringbone Arts spend their third Christmas at Theatre Royal Brighton with 100 Tails Of Us, a magical tale of the mysterious and mischievous unseen residents of the theatre! 

This is a promenade performance with the audience led by actors and puppets, up and down hidden stairwells and through spaces filled with beautifully detailed installations. There’s things to see, make and do as you follow the trail, solve the clues and celebrate friendship, cheese and Christmas.
