Suitable for all ages, audiences will need to keep their eyes peeled for some of the fairyland\u2019s best-known characters who just might pop up to make it Belfast\u2019s funniest, festive family show.<\/p>\n

As ever with the MAC\u2019s Christmas shows, expect a unique twist on the traditional fairytale format with a funny script co-written by Simon Magill and Stephen Beggs, under the direction of Paul Bosco Mc Eneaney, and an enchanting festive score from Garth McConaghie.<\/p>\n

Simon Magill<\/strong>, Creative Director at the MAC has said, \u201cSimply put, this year\u2019s Christmas show promises to be absolutely spectacular. With the inimitable Sean Kearns as our eponymous shoemaker and some stellar performances from the likes of Clare Barrett and Jolene O\u2019Hara, we\u2019re really excited to revive this classic story for a modern family audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Bosco McEneaney<\/strong> adds: “We are very excited to be back at the MAC this Christmas after the huge success of Under the Hawthorn Tree in September. The Elves and the Shoemaker is packed with Cahoots NI\u2019s signature magical touch and we cannot wait to welcome audiences into the Elfin world we have created!\u201d<\/p>\n
