A Christmas Carol
11 Dec - 18 Jan
By Charles Dickens
If I could work my will, I would have every fool who says ‘Merry Christmas’ boiled inside his own pudding…
As a young man, Ebeneezer Scrooge dreamed of being a world-class inventor. But that was long ago, before life turned his ambition to dust and left him a bumbling, grouchy old miser who can’t even see the point of Christmas.
This seasonal night however, his world is about to be turned upside down when some rather unexpected guests arrive to whisk him away on a whirlwind journey through the strange and vivid landscapes of his past, present and future…
Set against a backdrop of Dickensian Bristol, A Christmas Carol is a lively new adaptation of a heart-warming family favourite.
