“If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”

The miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is forced to confront his short comings and is given one final opportunity to repent and to rediscover the true spirit of Christmas in this two-handed classic adaptation.

Christmas Carol is probably Dickens’ most famous story. Every year there are numerous adaptations of the play – generally produced around the Christmas season. What makes this adaptation particularly unique is the fact that it’s a two-hander and as such concentrates on Scrooge and the demons within his head. With two extremely talented actors, the play shines a bright light on a well-loved family classic.

The play was originally premiered at The Phoenix Theatre, Bordon and was later revived for the  Buxton Festival Fringe season in 2006 following a short run at The Space, Isle of Dogs, London.
