Marra Mode is how your mate would tell you down the pub over a pint. Switch it off for the straight version.
A free hour of Christmas daftness for families: a nativity done as a police caper, at the Bridge Centre on Saturday 5 December at 3pm, with a brew and a bite after.
Looking for something to do with the kids before Christmas that won't cost you a penny? Get this one in the diary.
4Front Theatre are bringing their brand new show, On The Bethlehem Beat, to the Bridge Centre on Central Square in Workington on Saturday 5 December at 3pm. They're calling it a cops and robbers "pan-tivity", and the blurb says it's "a copper caper filled with laughs, music and a whole load of festive silliness."
The story: big city copper Sergeant Barton gets moved to the sleepy little town of Bethlehem. Then there's the census crowds, a thief on the loose and some funny business about a new king. Safe to say it's not a silent night.
It runs about an hour, and there's refreshments after. Churches Together in Workington and District have organised it for families from all over, and the Diocese of Carlisle is paying. You don't have to be a churchgoer, everyone's welcome.
Organiser Charlotte Bampton said: "This will be 4Front Theatre's fourth visit to Workington and every show they bring is packed with fun and laughter."
And: "If you're looking for Christmassy entertainment in West Cumbria, you'll definitely find it here."
4Front are a touring lot who take family shows round churches and community spaces, and they've become a bit of a December regular in town.
What to do: it's free, though they'll take a donation. Grab free tickets on the 4Front Theatre Workington Eventbrite page so you're not left standing, or chance it on the door if there's room. The Bridge Centre's on Central Square, right in the middle of town.
