What's the story of A Christmas Carol?

It’s a cold Christmas Eve on the snowy streets of Victorian London, and preparations for another meagre Christmas are well underway – but not for Ebenezer Scrooge. The cruellest, wealthiest woman in town; Scrooge hates charity, she hates carol singers, and most of all… she hates Christmas.

Join the children of the town and Charles Dickens, as they take Scrooge on a time-bending, enchanting journey of self-discovery to confront her past, present and future. Can Scrooge open her heart to undo years of misdeeds before it’s too late?

Who is in the cast of A Christmas Carol?

Penny Layden will star as Ebenezer Scrooge, alongside Killian Macardle (as Bob Cratchit/Marley/Fezziwig), Natasha Magigi (as Mrs Cratchit/Pawnbroker), Elexi Walker (as Dickens) and Lizzie Winkler (as Elizabeth/Ghost of Christmas Present).

The company also features forty young people from Rose Youth Theatre, performing in two alternate casts.

Who are the creative team of A Christmas Carol?

Adapted by Morgan Lloyd Malcom with music by Eammon O’Dwyer. Direction by Rosie Jones
