Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DPA true Christmas classic comes alive this holiday season with White Cobra‘s staged radio performance of Miracle On 34th Street. The story is based on the famous 1947 film, which was first presented as a radio play at the Lux Radio Theatre. A formidable Macy’s store executive, Doris Walker is desperately searching for a new store Santa Claus. She hires ‘Kris Kringle’ who insists that he is the real Santa Claus and proves immensely popular. However, when a conflict with the store’s incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds himself at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberately fails a psychological test. All seems lost until Doris’ friend, Fred Gailey, reassures Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight to secure his release. Fred arranges a hearing in which he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact the real Santa Claus! The White Cobra cast bring alive a lively crew of characters, with radio jingles and sound effects that will delight audiences, young and old.
