Dear all,

before we all disappear in a welter of mince pies and stuffing (or however you choose to celebrate Christmas/midwinter/festivals) just letting you all know that Nine Lives will be performing at the Arcola theatre in London for the WHOLE of January. We’d love to see you there. And if you’ve seen it already do tell EVERYONE you know in London to come see us.
