Details

A Christmas Carol is the most famous book Charles Dickens ever wrote and one of the most daring. As the Ghosts spirit Scrooge from his past to his present to his future, Dickens plunges the reader cinematically from the miser's dank and creaking house in the City to riotous festivities, from cozy hearths to graveyards. And all the time the author's voice, tender, savage, magisterial, is present. A unique one-man version of Charles Dickens’s classic novel, adapted by Clive Francis (Poldark; Yes Prime Minister) who repeats his acclaimed RSC performance as the misanthropic Ebenezer Scrooge, bringing to life a whole galaxy of Dickensian characters from Jacob Marley to Bob Cratchit; from Mrs Cratchit to Tiny Tim; not forgetting the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future.
