SOLACE returns with a brand new, two act, sit down Horror, Christmas, Pantomime NIGHTMARE…
In this brand new show from SOLACE, we see the same characters return to the stage once again.
Mother Lucille is sad and lonely at this time of year, so she seeks company in her many dolls, which she uses as her key to eternal life. She has trapped the souls of her ‘Performers’ in her relics of the past, and now she longs for a life that once was.
Meanwhile, Master has started to seek revenge on Mother Lucille for not fulfilling a promise made between the two. He steals one of her ‘Performers’ to be his own plaything. Master uses the entrapment as a way to lure Mother Lucille back into his circus, but little does he know she has a plan to get back at him and executes her own Christmas Traditions.
Caught in the middle of these two maniacs, Agon is tortured equally by the two, eventually becoming the ultimate sacrifice for selfishness.
Bringing a whole new meaning to Christmas, this new show will bring you face to face with your fears.
Bluring the lines between The Theatre of Cruelty and a classic camp old pantomime, this show features human sacrifice in its purest form. One of them being a human Christmas tree from your nightmares.
Content Warning : This show references many heavy and explicit themes such as Sex, Suicide, Death, Torture, and Obscured Religious Images. It also features scenes involving suggested torture, fake blood, fake bodily fluids, and suggested violence.

CAST
MASTER Fleur Bloesmsa
Exiled from his past life as MOTHER LUCILLE's handyman, MASTER plans his revenge on the old tart and steals the one thing he is owed. His own plaything.
Turned mad with perceived power, MASTER believes he has orchestrated the second coming of Christ. His selfishness will be his ultimate downfall.
Why don't you come and sit on masters lap and tell him what you want for Christmas?
MOTHER LUCILLE Ro Gearty

As her eternal light of life begins to fade, she must use her relics of the past to free the trapped souls she clings onto as her key to immortality. Her Christmas rituals must be completed, but first she needs to reclaim what was taken from her…
Ever glamorous,
Ever torturous,
Ever brutal.
AGON SOL
SOL is AGON
Becoming the ultimate sacrifice of selfishness, Agon has lost complete agency of their body and becomes a product of brutal torture. Stolen by Master to become the second coming of Christ, but still eternally tied to Mother Lucille, they have no place in this world. Or the next.
Agon is the victim of twisted Christmas traditions.
A lost soul, with no hope for redemption.
All they want for Christmas, is freedom.
KRAMPUS Hardly Human

Thought it couldn't get any worse?
Krampus just arrived.
THE PANTO DAME BONK

THE DOLL DirrtyHarry
DIRRTYHARRY is THE DOLL
Embodying the souls of lost spirits, THE DOLL serves as a gateway to the trapped entities which MOTHER LUCILLE uses as the key to eternal life.
Part video projection
Part ventriloquist puppet
Part angel tree topper
Part younger version of MOTHER LUCILLE herself
But 100% cunt.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always believed in hell. And to this day, I’ve always had great respect for it. I was younger then, more brutal perhaps. No, that’s wrong.
Christ bled. All the while, we were caught with our pants down, stroking our cunts to the sound of existence. I cannot find the words to castigate this unnatural and foul behaviour. My power is coming. I’m ready, waiting patiently for my fix.
Christmas has always been a time of great pain. It reminds us to be grateful for our pain, for it makes us feel alive. I am going through a very bad time of terrible guilt and upset.
