Silent Night, Raging Eve at Volcano Theatre

This isn’t your typical Christmas show…

Silent Night, Raging Eve is a comedic and incredibly relatable production coming to Volcano Theatre from 25 November to 20 December. Written and performed by the brilliant Joanna Simpkins, the show invites you to Eve’s slightly chaotic Christmas party, full of festive joy and the mounting pressure to have your life together.

As the night unfolds, Eve explores what it means to grow older in a world obsessed with youth and beauty, all while trying to get through the festive season with a smile on her face. It’s full of laughs, unexpected moments, and will be a refreshing take on the feelings so many of us navigate.

If you’re looking for something different to do this Christmas, Silent Night, Raging Eve is the perfect option.
