Today Cumbernauld Theatre announces the cast for its upcoming festive show Special Delivery, an enchanting musical journey filled with wonder this Winter. 

Not all good things come in neatly wrapped packages. Sometimes they arrive as you least expect them… with a thud, down your chimney!

Join Santa on his busiest night of the year, Christmas Eve. Travelling around the world and squeezing down chimneys to deliver presents is a tough job, but this time it’s made even more difficult when he is joined by a tiny mischievous hitchhiker who is looking for a way back home.

This magical festive production comprises of two talented Royal Conservatoire of Scotland graduates, Jessica Donelly and Craig Hunter. Special Delivery is brought to life by composer Karen MacIver with words by Clive King and will be led by Dougie Irvine of Visible Fictions. 

What I have created is a score for children that embraces the orchestral sound of the great John Williams with the wit and humour of Tom and Jerry cartoons.  I’m really excited for our young audiences to become immersed in the music and story.

KAREN MACIVER, COMPOSER

The development of this show has been a delightful process from start to finish. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside such a brilliant creative team.  I hope audiences have as much fun watching Special Delivery as we did making it.

CLIVE KING, WRITER

I am delighted to be collaborating with Cumbernauld Theatre Company and Scottish Opera on this very special show. The magical musical score combined with storytelling and projection will create a memorable experience for our young audiences and I can’t wait to see their reactions.

DOUGIE IRVINE, DIRECTOR

Special Delivery will run at Lanternhouse Studio Theatre from Sat 30 Nov to Sun 29 Dec. Run time 40 mins. No interval.
