Now here’s a festive production with a difference...

It’s A Wonderful Knife is partly inspired by the BBC’s record-breaking 1989 screening of the hit movie Crocodile Dundee, which remains the most-watched film ever broadcast on Christmas Day in the UK.

The Old Joint Stock’s theatre manager, James Edge, is confident that audiences will very much appreciate the venue’s radical alternative to traditional pantomime fare: “We found a story that mixes It’s A Wonderful Life - arguably the most famous Christmas story of all time - with Crocodile Dundee. We’ve made a story that’s cohesive, hilarious and actually heartfelt - and it works. It’s going to be barmy. You’ll have a croc, wearing crocs - put it that way!”
