The revue, devised and directed by Amanda Waring, has toured around the world and features poems and play extracts including Betjeman, Dickens, and Ayckbourn and music played by renowned pianist Philip Mountford including Vivaldi and Telemann. This is a truly unique opportunity to get into the spirit of Christmas at a professional production at a local venue - All Saints’ Church, Putney Common. The Waring family have long been friends of All Saints Church and all the show’s stars are performing free of charge.

All proceeds from the event will go to the All Together All Saints Appeal. Tickets are £15 (centre) /£10 (side) and include interval drinks. The show starts at 8pm and tickets can be reserved online at http://tinyurl.com/giftofchristmas or through Joanna.mackeson@hotmail.co.uk

Virginia McKenna said: “I am so delighted to be appearing in Amanda Waring’s production again. It is a fantastic show which has been well received internationally and truly gets you into the Christmas spirit. As a churchgoer myself I understand the challenges All Saints Church face in fundraising and I hope this production will provide welcome boost to the All Together, All Saints Appeal”.
