Short sharp Christmas tale for Show of Strength Theatre Company.
'Shhhh! You've got to be quiet! Tonight of all nights you've got to be quiet - or the magic won't happen.
That's what Mum and Dad tell me anyway.
So I'm going to be quiet (even if you aren't!).
I'm going to stay awake too. Until midnight.
(CONFIDINGLY)
Because the magic happens at midnight...
Mum and Dad don't know I'm staying up late, of course – they'd be a bit annoyed. But I ask you - how else will I get to speak to Father Christmas...?'
