The programme included a selection of favourite carols and
seasonal songs, ranging from Hark the
Herald Angels Sing to the ever-popular White
Christmas.
Musical items were interspersed with Christmas-themed
readings by cast members.
The audience, who were served mince pies and wine during the
interval, enthusiastically joined in a rousing delivery of The Twelve Days of Christmas led from the stage.
One of the most moving moments came when a soldier’s account
of the legendary Christmas truce on the Western Front in 1914, near the start
of the First World War, was read out with English and German versions of the
carol Silent Night being sung - just as they were that day by the opposing troops
in the trenches.
