A show that is fast becoming a Christmas tradition, we are delighted to welcome Stocking Fillers back to the Studio!

Seven brand new ten-minute festive plays to entertain you at the most wonderful time of the year!

A merry mix of comedy and drama, the Stocking Fillers will make you laugh and cry. They might even make you sing and shout. You'll feel all Christmassy from your head to your mistle-toes.

These short plays have been written by members of the Royal Court's writing groups and each evening professional actors and directors will bring them to life before your very eyes. With seven different shows to choose from there is something for everyone.

So get yourself down to the Royal Court grotto this Christmas and enjoy the show. You'll be shouting out for myrrh!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
