Theatre: A Christmas Carol

BUY TICKETS

Ebenezer Scrooge is a grouch. He never has a kind word for anyone, and is infamously stingy – especially at Christmas. When the three ghosts of Christmas pay him a visit, Scrooge is given the opportunity to examine his conscience, prompting him to change his selfish, cantankerous ways and transform himself through the spirit of Christmas – before it is too late…

Front Room Productions presents an original, promenade adaptation of Charles Dickens’ definitive yuletide story ‘A Christmas Carol‘. With live musical accompaniment, the production will immerse audiences in the Anthony Burgess Foundation, following Scrooge on his path to redemption. Experience the thrills of this theatrical re-telling of Dickens’ Christmas masterpiece, and immerse yourself in Victorian England as we explore the true meaning of Christmas.

“Front Room Productions [are] producing dynamic, touching, and truly engaging scenes.” Northern Echo

This performance shows at 7pm and 8.45pm on December 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd. Click here for listings.
