Celebrating their 11th year delighting UK audiences with this unique and highly acclaimed production, Dickens Theatre Company arrive at The Core Theatre.
Dickens Theatre Company present A Christmas Carol as part of their REVISION ON TOUR programme, staging exciting theatre adaptations of classic English GCSE texts for both students and lovers of literature alike.
With the rest of the acting cast stuck on a train, the great Charles Dickens himself, aided by his faithful tour manager, George Dolby, takes on the daunting challenge of portraying not just Ebenezer Scrooge, but over 30 other characters in this classic festive tale! Surely it can’t be done?
