” Children singing, police sirens ringing, chestnuts stolen from an orphan’s fire. …..and in a filthy alley in Chinatown a department store Father Christmas lies dead in a pool of his own blood – Aberystwyth at Christmas.”
The Queen of Denmark hires the only gumshoe private detective in Ceredigion, Louie Knight. In five days, with his trusty side-kick Calamity, he has to solve the case – if not, there will be no Christmas, no presents for the kids and no concert for the carol-singing penguins…
Following the success of Aberystwyth Mon Amour in 2016, Lighthouse Theatre returns with a stage premiere of another Malcolm Pryce Welsh Noir novel.
Directed by Llinos Daniel, with original music by Kieran Bailey, this is a co-production with Pontardawe and Aberystwyth Arts Centres with the help of Arts Council Wales and Ty Cerdd.
