A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Cast & Creatives
I thought the way the story was presented was incredible, especially considering there were only three people, the use of some of the quotes really stuck out and will be helpful for the exam as I’ll be able to remember them clearly. It was amazing.
The best aspects for me were that it engaged the audience, was thought-provoking, there was a good mix of emotions and it was delivered with enthusiasm and energy. The students engaged with the text and developed knowledge and understanding of it. Thank you!
I think that being able to see what the characters are feeling and the emotions behind the lines is really helpful. This experience has really helped my English and my drama skills as well as being very entertaining.

Our adaptation brings Dickens’ atmospheric Ghost Story of Christmas to life through the company’s characteristic cocktail of textual accuracy, fun, lively action, music and audience participation in order to educate, involve and inspire. As our actors bring to life Scrooge: squeezing, wrenching, grasping, hard and sharp as flint, the audience will join him on the journey that he is forced to make through his past, present and future until laughter and goodness replace the ice in his heart.
