A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol is Dickens Theatre Company's one-person performance of the classic festive tale, staged in Retford. Charles Dickens himself portrays over 30 characters including Ebenezer Scrooge, aided only by his tour manager George Dolby. Audiences experience a theatrical adaptation designed for both students studying GCSE texts and literature lovers. The production combines humour, music and theatrical storytelling to bring Dickens' original tale to life. This is the company's 11th year touring the UK. The performance uses strobe lighting and theatrical smoke, and suits ages eight and upwards.
