Harry's Christmas: DIGITAL PROGRAMME



'Christmas isn't always merry, especially not this year for Harry...'



Harry sits alone in his London flat, counting his cards, waiting for anyone to call him; perhaps for an old friend to knock on the door, or for an old lover to appear or just for someone to have a drink with. Waiting for anyone, really. Anyone. As the dreaded Christmas Day nears his sense of isolation deepens and he falls further into the trough of despair.


This portrait of loneliness and isolation confronts the huge, often unspoken issues that affect many people for whom the end of December, rather than being a festive season, is a time when emotional pressures are at their highest.


Harry’s Christmas is a searingly dark comedy that was originally performed at The Donmar Warehouse in 1985, yet the ideas explored through the life of one man in this complex and microscopic examination of society’s hypocrisy are as relevant today as they were then, if not more so and they affect millions of people.

Our NEXT SHOW AT KING'S HEAD THEATRE



One Man Poe: A Triple-Bill of Edgar Allan Poe
Tues 27th Dec - Sat 7th Jan



Renowned as the 'Godfather of Gothic Horror', Edgar Allan Poe has left a timeless mark on the horror genre.


Using his original publications from the 19th century, one actor faithfully brings Poe’s words to life, live on stage, performing back-to-back three of the finest examples of gothic literature:


The Tell-Tale Heart is an insight into the mind of a madman, convincing us that he is sane…


The Pit and the Pendulum follows a prisoner of the dreaded Spanish Inquisition, undergoing various mental and physical tortures…


Finally, The Raven is a poignant poem surrounding grief and remembrance - featuring an ominous talking Raven. Truly a marathon of the macabre.
