Written and directed by one of Limerick’s most respected theatre-makers, Margaret Hough, Merry Mayhem will whirl audiences into a magical mix of music, mischief and mystery this December 7 and 14.

Without Mrs Claus’s secret cookie recipe, Santa’s Christmas energy boost may be lost forever — and it’s up to the audience to help save the day in this family-friendly theatrical adventure.

Open Door Productions, in partnership with Dolans Limerick and supported by Limerick City and County Council, invites families to join the festive search for Santa’s beloved Mrs. Claus in “Merry Mayhem”, a brand-new Christmas adventure at King John’s Castle this December.

Merry Mayhem is devised especially for children aged four to nine, offering an hour of interactive family fun in the historic surroundings of King John’s Castle. Joining the cast are singer-actors Aoife Hennessy (Twinkle) and Emma Ryan (Sparkle), whose playful performances light up the show.

Performances take place on Sunday, December 7 at 4:30 pm and 6 pm; and again on Sunday, December 14 at 4:30 pm and 6 pm.

“Merry Mayhem captures the magic and mischief of Christmas,” says writer and director Margaret Hough. “Mrs. Claus is the heart of the story — without her, Christmas simply wouldn’t happen!”

Tickets for the event are on sale now and available online.

Performances take place on Sunday, December 7 at 4:30 pm and 6 pm; and again on Sunday, December 14 at 4:30 pm and 6 pm.
