The Lost Present... A Christmas Adventure

Topsy Turvy Theatre, the company who brought you Ruby Flew Too!, is back and invites young audiences on a Christmas adventure like no other.

It’s Christmas Eve, and, having tumbled to earth through the night sky, Elva sets out on a journey to find her best friend – a little girl she hasn’t even met yet. Has the lost present got what it takes to find her way through the cold winter night? Will she arrive in time for Christmas morning? Will Elva be everything the little girl wished for?
