Mabel’s Magnificent Flying Machine

This event has ended

Gate Theatre, Wednesday 1st December - Friday 24th December

A Pop-Up Christmas adventure for ages 6+.

Accident prone and instantly lovable, Mabel Mayfly is one of the ‘left behinds’, an elf who never gets to do the good stuff because her curiosity always gets her into trouble. She has discovered a way to make Santa’s sleigh travel 26 times faster around the world, without Rudolph and his other beloved reindeer.

To test her system, Mabel has taken Santa’s sleigh on a secret test flight and, due to a GPS malfunction, has crashed straight through the roof of the Gate Theatre.

Piece by piece, section by section, Mabel must, with the audience’s help, repair her radio connection, put Santa’s sleigh back together, and find her way home.

After the show, attendees will be receive an email with a link containing a special video message from a Very Important Person.

Mabel’s Magnificent Flying Machine is a beautiful new pop-up Christmas adventure about hope, realising what’s most important in life, and understanding that we are all talented in our own unique ways.

Late Night Station

The New Theatre

Late Night Station is a sharp edged darkly comic drama that reveals how ordinary people become complicit in systems of control and denial. Blending absurd humour with political unease. Wise and Flannagan, pass the night watching surveillance screens, feeding unseen dogs, and arguing about music, conspiracy theories, and the meaning of their work. What are they actually guarding and who are the strangers who lurk close by?

Dead Pioneers

The Workman's Club

Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal’s performance art, seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary.

Deal harnesses the raw energy of post-punk and alternative influences to challenge prevailing narratives, using lyrics that provoke thought and evoke emotion. Just as his performance art confronts the legacies of colonization and systemic marginalization, Dead Pi
