Instead, he wrote one of the most enduring popular short stories ever written. In one ghostly Christmas night, miserly businessman Ebenezer Scrooge discovers the limitations of his life and beliefs. He learns to pity himself and to love his neighbour – but is that enough?
A Christmas Carol is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, with design by Stephen Brimson Lewis, lighting by Tim Mitchell. music by Catherine Jayes, sound design by Fergus O’Hare and movement by Georgina Lamb.
