A special one night live online performed reading of this classic Dickens Christmas story.

Adapted to be played by six performers, it is true to the original story, centring on the mean-spirited and selfish Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas. Being visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his old business partner Jacob Marley – and then by the three ghosts (Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future), we see how the journey through time teaches Scrooge the error of his ways.

Full of the classic Dickensian lines, plus a smattering of carols, music and good cheer, this was guaranteed to fill you with the festive spirit.
