If you’ve a case of the Bah Humbugs, take your inner-Ebenezer to this show. Big, bold and unapologetically Christmassy, this work takes one of Dickens’ sappiest tales and translates it for the stage.

Your host and Dickens for the evening is Phil Zachariah. The narration is informed by Charles himself who performed the work for audiences nearly five-hundred times throughout his life. Watch Tiny Tim and co. be reborn by this warm performance.

Reviews for this production have been overwhelmingly positive in previous years and Scrooges have reported being visited by Ghosts of Christmas Past in the foyer.
