It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his late business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it’s not too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways and escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

Dicken’s iconic story needs no introduction and Mark Gatiss’ spine-tingling adaptation is faithful to its heart and spirit – an irresistibly theatrical retelling of the classic tale of life, love, loss and redemption. This production will contain music, dance, puppets, singing, snow… and most of all, love and laughter. What a wonderful way to get ready for Christmas!
