Matthew Warchus‘ big-hearted, smash hit production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic returns to The Old Vic this Christmas, joyously adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
The Old Vic’s A Christmas Carol fills the auditorium to the brim with mince pies, music and merriment. A unique staging immerses the audience in this uplifting story.
