Theatre
A Christmas Carol
Returning after its record-breaking run last year, Tom Morris’ enchanting adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless tale is back, once again with Lee Lyford at the helm and music by Gwyneth Herbert (The Snow Queen).
The turkeys are hanging in St Nick’s butchers shop, the Christmas Steps are decked with holly, but Christmas Eve is a bleak night for miserly money-lender Ebenezer Scrooge. Before the night is through, he is visited by four ghosts who show him chilling portraits of his past, present and future.
As the sun rises, he comes to see the bitter truth of his selfish life; learning kindness, compassion and, ultimately, the true meaning of Christmas.
