It’s 1983 in Glasgow’s east end, and poor Archie McCann is stuck in a right pickle. His two daughters, Tricia and Kathleen, are getting married on the same day – the very day of the Celtic vs Rangers League Cup final!

Convinced the universe (and the SFA) are out to get him, Archie’s torn between walking his girls down the aisle or sneaking off to watch the match.

With his wife Rita off protesting with her CND pals, future sons-in-law on opposite sides of the football divide, and Maggie, the nosey neighbour with a secret crush on Archie, it’s all set for a day of mayhem. Get ready for a bellyful of laughs as Archie tries to juggle weddings, football, and a whole lot of chaos.

Crown Ballet® presents The Nutcracker.

An eternal seasonal favourite.

After last year’s acclaimed tour, Crown Ballet® is delighted to return to the UK to mesmerize audiences with their enchanting production of The Nutcracker.

The magic of classical ballet – performed live on stage.

A true masterpiece of Tchaikovsky’s repertoire, The Nutcracker is a charming fairytale that captures the spirit of the holiday season. Enter a magical world where a humble nutcracker may transform into a handsome prince, and dreams come to life in a whirlwind of wonder.

Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, the story follows young Marie, a melancholy girl who receives a Nutcracker doll as a Christmas gift from her godfather, Drosselmeier. Through her vivid imagination, the Nutcracker transforms into a prince, setting the stage for a magical adventure filled with bravery, beauty, and the joy of Christmas.

A timeless holiday tradition.

This beloved seasonal classic is the perfect introduction to the magic of classical ballet for audiences of all ages. With its dazzling choreography, Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable score, and a story brimming with holiday cheer, The Nutcracker promises an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

A glittering treat that will leave memories to cherish for years to come!
