A Christmas Carol

Joy to all mankind? Bah!Spend an evening with Ebenezer Scrooge: a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching covetous old miser. Bah!Watch horrified as Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by four creepy ghosts (wooo-oooh) each one more terrifying than the last. Bah!Sob at the bedside of a tiny, malnourished child riven with rickets. Bah!In their inimitable style, the team that brought you Great Expectations, The Odyssey, Canterbury Tales and Dracula: the Vampyr will now take you on a grim (sort of) journey through the dark, dismal streets of Victorian London.This is Dickens original words with added silliness. Silliness? Bah!Celebrate the festive season with a mesmerising one-man performance of Charles Dickens timeless, transformative story: A Christmas Carol. Bah!Now with even more Humbug!Running time: 70 mins (approximately)
