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.

ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD ON AN UNRESERVED BASIS. Entry to the Gate and the auditorium will be conditional on the health guidelines at the time of the performance, and not at the time of ticket purchase.

Abbey Theatre

Prepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. Unstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle – writ large and set loose on the national stage.
