Artsreach is planning a spring season of indoor performances, but in the meantime it has launched a digital programme for the Christmas period.

There is Charles Dickens’ timeless story ‘A Christmas Carol’ devised, adapted and performed especially for film by veteran Cornish actor and founder member of Kneehigh, David Mynne. Expect Dickens’ original words with added silliness. It is available to enjoy online anytime until midnight on Sunday 2 January.

Enjoy ‘A Dorset Christmas with The Ridgeway Singers and Band’ and hear the story of how our ancestors celebrated Christmas in this film which features music, song, story and dance. With tunes and songs from the Puddletown and Hinton St Mary manuscripts and new carols in the West Gallery tradition, interspersed with readings, archive photographs and other images from across Dorset, plus a special performance of ‘While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night’, expect a heart-warming seasonal celebration of all things Dorset. Captured and edited by Pageant Productions, ‘A Dorset Christmas’ is available to watch anytime until midnight on Sunday 2 January.

Finally, Sharp Teeth Theatre return after their runaway global hits, Sherlock In Homes I: Murder at The Circus and Sherlock In Homes II: Murder On Ice, with a new online interactive murder mystery – ‘Murder at the Games!’ Could it be the chill of the cold war or the heat of the Italian sun? Zoom into Rome’s Olympic village to find out. You’ll interrogate the suspects and attempt to unmask a murderer with your fellow audience members as you pit your wits against some of the UK’s most talented performers and improvisers. Only you can solve this case. Take part in this online murder mystery on Thursday 6 January at 2.30pm or 8pm. Advanced booking is required and e-tickets are £10 per device (not per person).

E-tickets for all events are available from the Artsreach website, and whilst the events are free to view, donations to Artsreach are welcomed. For further information and to register, visit www.artsreach.co.uk.
