Alex and the Warrior
Saturday 31st January at 2.00pm
Be careful what you wish for.
It might just come true.
It is Chirstmas Eve, a magical time when wishes are suppossed to be granted.
Alex wishes his favourite computer game character could step through the screen
and bring his grandad home from the hospital in time for Christmas.
When the
Warrior appears, bringing with him a large sword and a lot of attitude, Alex
begins to wonder what he has let himself in for.
So begins a journey as Alex,
his cat and The Warrior head through the Christmas streets, unaware that
something else has stepped out of the game behind them.
Alex and his cat try
to keep the Warrior under control as he discovers fast food, karaoke and
Christmas shopping and, all the while, the hunters are closing in.
A quest full of magic and danger, music and laughter.
Dickens meets the
Terminator in this modern Christmas fairytale for all the family.
