Voicebox: Christmas on Voice

An honest review of Burnley Youth Theatre's Christmas show

The Box of Delights is based on a novel by John Masefield and was adapted into a BBC TV series in 1984. The BBC adaptation is my personal connection to this story. 

A year on since its initial release, this underrated Christmas number is still relevant. 

Christmas is the end-of-year joy we all need, but sadly, it's not what all of us get. 

This year’s pantomime at Telford Theatre is the fairest pantomime of them all, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

A list of all the things that contribute to our excitement during the build-up to Christmas. 

“Break the loop change track and change your futures.”

A smashing show ‘Fitt’ for the West End. Watch out Shrewsbury, Brad is back! ‘The perfect anecdote to everything going wrong in the year’ - David Jack, Theatre manager.  

Much beloved by millions around the world, The Muppets Christmas Carol is the perfect Christmas movie, so join us as we rank its songs from worst to best. 

A cornerstone of winter festivities, join us as we break down how to make a perfect batch of mulled wine.

From torching twigs of rowen to knocking on someone's door after midnight, Scotland has many festive traditions. Join us as we break down some of our favourites!

Ambiguity and loneliness are celebrated in the story of the tomten, at odds with some of our more traditional Christmas folklore.
