A drive-in Christmas panto is set to take place in car parks across Scotland during this year’s festive period.
Scots families are preparing for Christmas without panto or light switch ons this year as events continue to be axed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But the crew behind Horrible Histories’ stage productions is hoping to save Christmas with the ‘world’s first drive-in Christmas show’ in December 2020.
Horrible Christmas, which will be performed in partnership between the Birmingham Stage Company and Horrible Histories, will tell of how the winter holiday came to be what it is today.
It will tell the story of how a young boy tries to save Christmas after it comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red.
Shows will be performed in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with dates and exact locations yet to be confirmed.
All events will be socially distanced as the stage crew will perform in front of parents and children inside their cars.
Horrible Histories actor/manager, Neal Foster, said: “We can’t wait to be back on stage in cities and towns that will be crying out for a Christmas show to entertain their families.
“As you’d expect from Horrible Histories, it’s not a traditional pantomime, but a journey through the story of Christmas in the company of the season’s most fabulous characters.
"It’s the perfect story for families this winter, as one young boy battles to save Christmas for the world in this hilarious, joyous and moving celebration.”
Tickets will be priced at £45 per car, with a £2.50 booking fee.
