What's on: Christmas musical, The Devil's Seamstress, to run for two dates in Whitby in December and will feature original music

Whitby theatre-goers can catch two performances of The Devil’s Seamstress this December, a Christmas musical featuring original music presented by the Colourless Boxes Theatre Company.

The play will be performed at the Whitby and District Rifle Club on December 5 and 13 at 7pm, with doors set to open on both nights at 6.30pm.

Described as a Victorian melodrama “sprinkled with Christmas cheer and Dickensian nightmares”, the play centres around a seamstress – played by Maethelyiah – who makes a deal with the devil.

Audiences can expect original music and Christmas songs, set in a small shop at the time of the Boer War.
