It’s the week before Christmas in the Village In The Middle Of Nowhere. The grand Christmas Ball is looming, thrown by the Man Who Might Be The Devil. 

Marinka is determined to find a new dress for her daughter Serina so she’ll be swept off her feet in true fairytale style. Her stepdaughter Vasilia, however, would give anything to be at the BMX Championship and needs to find £16.20 for the train fare to get there. Yuri, newly arrived in the village and knowing no-one, wants to find a friend. Tabby wants a man to take her to the ball – but then who will take Lady Farmer? And everyone’s determined to stay as far away from the ancient witch Baba Yaga and her freaky House on Chicken Legs as possible. 

Will anyone find their happy ending this Christmas?

Recommended for ages 8+
