A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens

‘Oh, but he was a squeezing, wrenching, scraping, grasping kind of a Scrooge; a clutching, covetous old sinner…’Using only Charles Dickens' extraordinary words and a chameleon ensemble of eight actors, Neil Bartlett's A Christmas Carol is a bold theatrical reimagining of a classic Christmas story. This stage version was adapted for the festive season of 2002-3, and played to full houses and critical acclaim at both the Lyric Hammersmith, London, and the Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow.‘Gets right to the frozen heart of Dickens' classic Christmas tale…one of those rare festive offerings for which no adult will need the excuse of a child in tow…’ – Guardian
