OUR XMAS/NEW YEAR SHOW, 2026-27
Fear in the Funhouse. Terror in the Tunnel of Love, Shivers in the Shooting Gallery
On the trail of stolen artifacts, Brown faces a motley crew of churls and showgirls, led by Mozzarelli, the big cheese.
For those who fancy a bonkers, surreal & hilarious alternative to panto, book now for Common Ground Theatre Company's ever-popular Xmas spoof!
A haul of recently unearthed Roman gold and silverware, The Hiddenham Hoard, has been stolen whilst in transit to the British Museum! Maud Fiveways of the Hiddenham archaeology society asks her old flame Father Brown for help, as the police have no leads.
Father Brown’s investigations are disrupted by the arrival of Mozzarelli’s Carnival on Hiddenham Common, a collection of motley churls and show girls who hurl him into a whirl of twirly turmoil! How will he find the culprit before the precious Hoard is sold off piecemeal to the highest bidder?
A classic Yuletide mystery with all the Common Ground trimmings - sparkling wit, ingenious staging, hilarious songs, and surreal flights of festive fancy.
