A Christmas Carol With A Dickens Twist!

What do you do when your entire acting company is stuck on a train? If you’re Charles Dickens, apparently you just get on with it and play everyone yourself!

Dickens Theatre Company returns for its 11th year touring across the UK with a fresh, fast and wonderfully inventive take on A Christmas Carol. With the rest of the cast nowhere to be seen, Dickens and his faithful tour manager George Dolby are left with the tiny task of bringing the whole story to life between them. 

Part of Dickens Theatre Company's Revision On Tour programme, this production brings classic English GCSE texts to life in a way that's anything but dusty. It's designed for students and literature lovers alike. Get ready for a festive trip to Victorian London. Just don't expect the full cast to make it on time...

What's The Story?

It's Christmas Eve, but Ebenezer Scrooge isn't exactly feeling festive. The miserly businessman has no time for Christmas cheer, generosity or anyone asking him for money. But after a mysterious night of ghostly visitations, Scrooge is forced to confront his past, present and future.

Can the spirits convince him to change his ways before it's too late?

Find out as Dickens himself takes on the entire cast in this joyously inventive production of Charles Dickens' timeless Christmas classic.
