A Christmas Carol – CANCELLED

One actor, twenty characters, one festive evening!

  • Created and Performed by: Will Bligh

A one-man show retelling Charles Dickens’ classic tale of redemption and compassion. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge who on a cold Christmas Eve night is taken on a terrifying journey by three ghosts and shown the error of his ways, offers a timeless message about greed and the joy of sharing.

Will Bligh stars in this unique adaptation recreating Scrooges’s world using lighting, sound and a wooden chair. Experience a dynamic and visceral performance with all of your favourite characters, such as Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim and the three ghosts, as they are brought to life on stage.

This adaptation of A Christmas Carol develops a performance which moves away from a recital of the Dickens’ text to a more dramatic and engaging performance. This has been achieved by completely removing the narrator from the script, which allows the characters to develop each situation and maximise the drama on-stage.
