Nichola McAuliffe reads a festive poem for a leading charity

Olivier Award winning actress Nichola McAuliffe, has joined forces with the UK’s leading end of life charity Marie Curie to release a new version of the classic festive poem, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore.

The famous poem, originally about a visit from Santa Claus, was revised by poet Molly Case who is also a palliative care nurse. It has been reimagined to centre around the real-life story of Stephen from Belfast and his sister Lucia, who are visited by a Marie Curie Nurse in their time of need.

It was commissioned by Marie Curie to highlight the expert end of life care and support that its Nurses, Healthcare Assistants and other frontline staff provide, both at Christmas and all year round.
