This isn’t your parents’ ‘Nutcracker’: despite sharing a name and presumably a rough plot outline with Hoffman’s short story, this is very much not the ballet version but a new adult pantomime by Joshua Coley, an actor turned panto author. It follows Carlie, a Londoner who has had a terrible year that's about to take a strange turn after she receives an inappropriate gift from her uncle. Aimed at ages 18-plus, we’ve been told to ‘expect filth’.
