Alexandra Palace is finally reopening the doors of its massive, gloriously gilded 1875 theatre space after a lengthy refurb. And it should make the perfect setting for this family christmas treat. 'Horrible Christmas' looks at celebrations through the ages, from po-faced Puritans to 'treat yo'self' Tudors. It's all masterminded by Birmingham Stage Company, who've presided over nearly a decade's worth of hilariously gory adaptations of Terry Deary's history teacher-baiting books, stuffed with songs, jokes, and audience interaction. Children under four will not be admitted.
