The Christmas Doll

Acclaimed playwright Joan Cushing turns her talents toward Victorian London in this beautiful holiday musical for the whole family. With rich storytelling and the period detail of a Charles Dickens novel, this tale follows two orphan sisters who flee the bleak public workhouse and try to survive on the bitter, winter streets. Knowing her younger sister, Glory, will die if they cannot find food and shelter, Lucy, the older and stronger sister, kindles Glory’s imagination with stories from their happy early childhood. Inspired by her sister’s stories, Glory clings to a dream about a beautiful doll that will change their lives. When Lucy finds holiday work in a doll shop, it looks like their dreams might come true, and an act of selfless generosity leads them to discover tenderness in unexpected places.
