A Christmas Carol | Script £31 | songs £11

A Christmas Carol cover

Ebenezer Scrooge has a heart colder than a polar-bear's cold bits.

His meanness is legendary and this Christmas he's making no exceptions.

Grave digger Silus Barrow and his lad, Toby Crisp guide you through this story steeped in Victorian gloom.

This faithful retelling of the classic Christmas story tells of Scrooge's encounter with four ghosts, and his eventual redemption. The script is true to the original story and has much of the original Dickens dialogue intact.

This classic Christmas story will thrill your audience while giving them a nice rosy glow before they go home.

With music this show runs at about 60 minutes and is suitable for children aged 9 to 16.
