La Clique at the Roundhouse
Camden until 17 January 2010

There are still some seats left for boxing day; if you arent lucky enough to win a free pair, why not take advantage of the £20 ticket offer for 10pm performances on the 26th & 27th of December?

A Christmas Carol
King’s Head Islington
until 10th January 2010
This critically acclaimed production is the perfect Christmas event. Revel in the joy of Christmas as multi-talented actors, musicians, children and puppets bring to life this musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' inspirational novel.
Phil Willmott's inventive adaptation conjures up a Victorian pub with a world of ghosts, magic, hardship and hope whilst Dickens tries to sell his publisher the story that is A Christmas Carol.
Rope
Almeida Theatre
until 6 February 2010
Based on a real case, Patrick Hamilton’s dark classic explores an apparently motiveless murder perpetrated by two students on a fellow student. The tension builds as the two privileged boozing and shallow killers invite friends and family of the victim to dine with them from a makeshift table created from a trunk containing the dead man’s body.
...And some shows to book early for 2010!
The Little Dog Laughed
Garrick Theatre
from 9 January 2010
Be first to see Tamsin Greig, Rupert Friend, Gemma Arterton and Harry Lloyd in this laugh-out-loud funny play about the hilarity of Hollywood stars and what self-deception does to people in the world of show business. This is a satirical look at an actor who can’t keep himself in the closet due to a slight case of recurring homosexuality whilst his agent stands guard trying to push him back in.
Six Degrees of Separation
The Old Vic
from 8 January 2010
An adrenalin fuelled Olivier Award-winning play, which is a sharp take on two worlds colliding as a con man hustler enters the rich and privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan. Anthony Head, Lesley Manville and Obi Abili star in the play that uses the old adage that ‘everybody on the planet is separated by only six other people’ and what happens when one man twists other people’s belief in this statement to his own advantage
