Already sold out in Frome

Wise Children is a theatre company and The Lucky Chance is our new 'home'. We use it for teaching, creating and rehearsing our shows. However, this Christmas, we're throwing the doors wide open. We want to share this most tiny and special of venues. And when we say tiny, we mean it: we can only seat 60 people per show, so book quickly!

We have a full bar serving wine, spirits, beer, tea, coffee, snacks and treats – all perfect for a cold winter evening. Our doors open one hour before the show so why don't you arrive early? Even better, why not stick around for a drink after the show as well? We want you to make a night of it!

Think of us as your local theatre speakeasy! With stories to tell and cocktails to drink, this is a night out to make your friends envious and your Instagram account glitter.

Some of you already know us, but for those who don't, we look forward to meeting you. You can find out all about Wise Children, our shows, our school and our Artistic Director, Emma Rice, by clicking here.

The Show

As the Little Matchgirl struggles to survive, she strikes her precious matches to keep warm. Each match conjures a new story, and we hold her hand as she tumbles down this rabbit hole of folk tales. Inspired by the beautiful and poignant Hans Christian Andersen tale, and interweaving it with The Princess and the Pea and The Emperor's New ClothesThe Little Matchgirl and Happier Tales reveals a spellbinding world of magic and mystery.

Steeped in the metaphor and meaning that run through Andersen's enduring stories, this will be an event to delight, transport, move and surprise. For adults and brave children alike, expect music, puppetry, dark magic... and perhaps some modern truths that we all might rather remain hidden.
