Stories shared
At Fregoli Theatre Company, we believe in the power of sharing stories - to uplift, inspire and connect people. With so much uncertainty surrounding Christmas 2020, we felt moved to create a new community work…
We ran an open call for submissions in October - asking the public to share Christmas memories and stories while also considering the role of “home”.
Home for Christmas was created and shaped by all the submissions
