Christmas Theatre

Stuck for something interesting and cultural to do at the weekend? Why not get together with a group of friends and go to the theatre. The Face to Face Theatre Company are putting on a show of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol in English!!! The show is on Saturdays and Sundays throughout December at the Alcazar Theatre on Calle Alcala and tickets cost about 15 euros. Why not check it out, practise your English listening skills, have fun and get into the Christmas spirit!

English Pantomime

We are coming up to the festive season, the Christmas lights and trees are being put up around the city, people are out buying their presents and soon we will be hearing renditions of 'White Christmas' all over Madrid. This is also the typical time to see a pantomime in Britain. Fortunately, you don't have to go all the way to the UK to catch a panto this Christmas, because the Madrid Players are putting on their annual English-language production right here in the city of Madrid. This year they are offering their version of 'Cinderella', so why not try to get some tickets for the weekend of the 7th to the 9th of December! You can have fun and practise your English at the same time! (Even if you can't go this time, it's worth keeping an eye open for other English-speaking shows they perform throughout the year.)
