The Court Jester’s, A Very Merry Scriptless
Love Actually, Notting Hill & Bride and Prejudice - stuck in a blender and put to music in A Very Merry Scriptless!
The annual festive family favourite from The Court Jester’s, A Very Merry Scriptless, returns to Christchurch audiences, this year as a fully improvised musical opening on December 8th at Heaton Intermediate.
Court Jesters Kathleen Burns, Jeff Clark and Andrew Todd are joined by musician Jordan Smith to create unique romantic storylines, original songs and characters (all with a Christmas theme), at every performance.
Director Dan Pengelly and Musical Director Luke di Somma describe the show as “taking ‘Love Actually’, ‘Notting Hill’ and ‘Bride and Prejudice’, sticking everything in a blender and seeing what happens.”
A Very Merry Scriptless runs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 8pm at the Heaton Intermediate Theatre (133 Heaton St, Merivale) from 8-22 December. All tickets are $16.
