"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 Calamtity, 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...

Following the success of Aberystwyth Mon Amour in 2016, Lighthouse Theatre returns with a stage premiere of another Malcolm Pryce Welsh Noir novel.

Directed by Llinos Daniel, with original music by Kieran Bailey, this is a co-production with Pontardawe and Aberystwyth Arts Centres with the help of Arts Council Wales and Ty Cerdd.

Join members of the cast and creative team of ‘O Little Town of Aberystwyth’ for a pre-show Q&A on Wednesday 20th November from 6:40pm to 7:05pm. Maybe you want to find out more about how this production differs from Lighthouse Theatre’s familiar Radio Play structure or discover their process of adapting the play from Malcolm Pryce’s novel. Or maybe you’re just interested to know what life is like on tour. Grab a drink, bring your questions, and join them for a chat in the Mwldan Gallery.
