Counting Down to Christmas

A play with original songs, commissioned by MAST Mayflower Studios for family audiences for Christmas 2023.

It’s nearly Christmas, but Ebbie doesn’t care. She's far too busy to bother with decorations, Christmas shopping is such a fuss, and she doesn’t even like mince pies!

But when a mysterious envelope is posted through Ebbie’s letterbox, it’s the start of a series of events that will change how Ebbie feels about Christmas forever.

An enchanting adventure for little ones and their grown ups, full of surprises and festive magic.

Written by Victoria Briggs and David Lewington, following R&D with the company
