Louie Knight investigates the murder of a department store Santa Claus in this new stage adaptation by Malcolm Pryce.

” Children singing, police sirens ringing, chestnuts stolen from an orphan’s fire.  …..and in a filthy alley in Chinatown a department store Father Christmas lies dead in a pool of  his own blood – Aberystwyth at Christmas.”

The Queen of Denmark hires the only gumshoe private detective in Ceredigion, Louie Knight. In five days, with his trusty side-kick Calamity, he has to solve the case – if not, there will be no Christmas, no presents for the kids and no concert for the carol-singing penguins…

This is a co-production with Pontardawe and Aberystwyth Arts Centres, Ty Cerdd and Arts Council Wales.
