London Theatre

‘…the production values and design ingenuity of this immersive Christmas experience are such that one can’t help but be transported, even if you don’t have a bedazzled child in tow. Wishmas feels a bit like what would happen if Punchdrunk took over a floor of Hamleys at Yuletide. From a visual and atmospheric point of view, Wishmas is a total success: designer Julie Landau, lighting designer Tim Mitchell and puppet specialist Charlie Tymms collectively give us giant cascades of glowing baubles and a magical train that ascends like a celestial tube from beneath Waterloo up into the stratosphere. There are fir trees, a space-age control room for Santa’s reindeer, gorgeous fat robin redbreasts emerging from brightly coloured birdhouses, a battery of fairy lights, smatterings of snow…the place even smells of Christmas spice.’
