Soho Theatre’s Christmas season will feature an eclectic mix of theatre, comedy and cabaret, beginning with a transfer of Action to the Word’s “physical theatre horrorshow” production of  A Clockwork Orange (19th November 2012 – 5th January 2013), which premiered at Edinburgh this summer. Alexandra Spencer-Jones’s all-male staging coincides the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Anthony Burgess’s notorious novel and stars Martin McCreadie as Alex.

Daywrite presents a new play by BAFTA winner Jack Thorne (The Fades, This is England), Mydidae (4 – 22 December 2012). Set in a bathroom, the play explores a relationship witnessed in a minute in devastating detail. Vicky Jones directs.

Richard Thomas (composer of Jerry Springerthe Opera) and performance artist David Hoyle present an adult-themed cabaret Merrie Hell, in which  “bad fairies Hoyle and Thomas bring their own alternative Christmas celebration to Soho Downstairs for nights of sin and song” (29 November 2012 – 5 January 2013). Soho artistic director Steve Marmion’s comedy troupe Late Night Gimp Fight returns with a festive-flavoured edition of their dark sketches.

Popular Australian comedian Judith Lucy returns to London with her new solo show Nothing Fancy (19 November – December 1 2012) and her compatriot Sam Simmons, “Australia’s master of suburban surrealism” explores the furthest reaches of the human condition in About the Weather (3 December 2012 – 5 January 2013). South African comedian Trevor Noah also makes his London debut with his show The Racist (5 December 2012 – 5 January 2013).
