THE magical poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas will echo around Reading’s first Twilight Trail thanks to Reading Rep Theatre.

The Twilight Trail is a socially distanced light and sound installation in the historic Abbey Ruins and Forbury Gardens which is taking place from December 8 until January 3.

If you book a space you will be able to hear characters from the timeless poem produced by Reading Rep Theatre’s professional actors who have worked with Reading College students to create the experience.

While wandering the trail, full of sparkles and illuminations, you will be transported by voices, music and more.

Reading Rep Artistic Director Paul Stacey said: “I am just thrilled to be able to create work in any format this Christmas.

"It would have been such a shame if social distancing had prevented us from being able to celebrate with our audiences this festive season.

"We are so excited to be working with Reading College Students (who are able to perform in an educational bubble) and a professional actor, to record a rich and festive soundscape.

"While the audience might not be able to experience live performance at the moment, rest assured our sound installations are made with all the zeal and vigour that makes live entertainment so important and something missed by so many in 2020."
