A much loved story by Charles Dickens and adapted so cleverly for the stage by Hilary Bell, A Christmas Carol is bought to life by a superb cast. Ebenezer Scrooge, portrayed convincingly by John Bell, is a miser - cold, stingy and living as a recluse. The Crummles family home sets the scene and livens up the stage and transforms this story through entertaining pantomime, music, laughter and amazing surprises. A very clever presentation of this wonderful classic tale, definitely one to be seen in this festive season.

"Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge's catchphrase expresses his disgust with Christmas traditions, shutting down anyone's enthusiasm and joy for all things festive. No amount of mistletoe and tinsel will warm his Christmas spirit.



Ghosts are not what you would associate with Christmas but they seem to want to conjure into Scrooge's world and he is visited by three very different ones - the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come - in the hopes he will have an awakening to open his eyes and soften his judgments - but will he just say '"Bah! Humbug!" to it all and squeeze the purse even tighter closed and remain doomed forever more.



John Bell (Scrooge) is joined by his talented and entertaining cast members Jay James-Moody, Valerie Bader, Emily McKnight and Anthony Taufa, who transform so wonderfully into their characters to enthral and captivate the audience. The lively performances in this production make for a show to delight all.

The running time is approximately 80 minutes and what a wonderful 80 minutes it was, you will want to see more. There is no interval but I was enthralled with the show that I didn't need a break. Recommended for ages 8 and over, it's one for the whole family for your light-hearted entertainment and enjoyment! Purchase your tickets here .
