Looking for a Christmas show suitable for all the family? There are two that promise to be absolute crackers in and around Greenwich. Andrew Pollard is celebrating his tenth festive season at Greenwich Theatre (greenwichtheatre.org.uk) with his take on Red Riding Hood, which is bound to be the usual uproarious mixture of songs, dance, jokes and adlibs. It runs from Nov 20 to Jan 10. Down the road in Deptford, the Albany (thealbany.org.uk) is putting on Raymond Briggs’ classic The Bear from Dec 7 to Jan 3. The production features a huge, white-furred, black-tongued animal puppet. Tickets to both shows are selling fast, so book yours now.
