A Christmas Carol
10 December
– 14 December 2025
By Charles Dickens adapted for the stage by Barry Brown
When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 he gave the world an enduring gift which captured the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas season.
This timeless classic and the story’s uplifting magic remains as potent today as when it was first published.
A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who, on a bleak cold Christmas Eve,  is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. As the ghostly visits become more terrifying Scrooge soon realises that he must change his ways.
This new adaptation of A Christmas Carol is captures the true meaning of Christmas, the value of family and loved ones, and how to live generously with those around us, and highlights the importance of charity, friendship and generosity.
