AN ENCHANTING ADAPTATION OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Based on the book by Charles Dickens

Adapted by Alan Pollock

Directed by Jessica Daniels

In Dickensian London, this Christmas, not all is as it seems. the fog descends, the lights flicker and strange things start happening to Ebenezer Scrooge. Join us at the Barn for this atmospheric re-telling of Charles Dickens’ enduring tale of redemption.

Watch in awe as objects come to life on the stage, be entranced by singling and movement and let your heart be warmed by the transformation that unfolds in front of you – the magic of Christmas and the magic of theatre combining for an unforgettable experience.

The production stars Jack Lord (The Book Thief, War Horse) as Ebenezer Scrooge, alongside Paul Kemble (Top Hat, To The Streets) as Narrator 4, Fezziwig and Bob Cratchit.

Sam Lightfoot-Loftus (Twelfth Night, Wishmas) plays Narrator 5, Fred and Young Scrooge, while Louise Faulkner (Eastenders, Lady Windermere’s Fan) takes on Narrator 1, Mrs Cratchit and Mrs Fezziwig. Rachael Kendall Brown (Get Down Tonight, Where Eagles Fly) appears as Narrator 3 and Belle, and Claire Lee Shenfield (Little Women, A Christmas Carol) completes the cast as Narrator 2 and Fan.

Sound design, composition and musical direction will be led by Anna Pool, with movement direction by Phoebe Hyder. Casting direction is by Anthony Houghton.
