A Christmas Carol

- Tom Morris
Tom Morris (The Grinning Man, Swallows & Amazons) joins forces with Lee Lyford and Gwyneth Herbert (The Snow Queen) to present another festive feast for all the family – an enchanting new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless tale.
The turkeys are hanging in St Nick’s butchers shop, the Christmas Steps are decked with holly, but Christmas Eve is a bleak night for miserly money-lender Ebenezer Scrooge.
Before the night is through, he is visited by four ghosts who show him chilling portraits of his past, present and future.
is needed now More than ever
As the sun rises, he comes to see the bitter truth of his selfish life; learning kindness, compassion and, ultimately, the true meaning of Christmas.
“Dickens’ classic comedy provides the perfect end to our Year of Change, exploring what it might take for a hard-hearted skinflint to transform into the living embodiment of the spirit of Christmas.
“Join Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and Scrooge himself in this riot of music and theatrical imagination, with a heart as big as Bristol.”
Nov 29-Jan 13, various times (see link below), £7.50-£39, ages 7+. For more info, visit bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/a-christmas-carol
