This isn’t the adaptation of Love Actually many would wish for, but it is written by Richard Curtis, in aid of Comic Relief, and will be taking over the Royal Festival Hall for five days. Promising a witty and enchanting evening, conjuring up the best of the fun and merriment of Christmas, expect poems, carols, celebrities, live music, comedy and live illustrations, as well as Christmas cracker jokes, letters to Santa, and a festive sing-along, by a stellar celebrity line-up. According to Curtis, he never liked the Christmas shows he took his children to in the past, so was inspired to make sure this one “really is fun for all the family”.
