***Book today and save up to 56% - Book by 28 Jan 2016***
Charles Dickens’ adored Christmas classic returns to London this festive season in a brand new adaption starring Academy Award-winner Jim Broadbent.
Adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow, writer of the long-running smash hit The 39 Steps, A Christmas Carol tells the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who scorns Christmas until he is visited by a mischievous group of spirits determined to show him the error of his ways.
Directed by the phenomenally inventive Phelim McDermott (Shockheaded Peter, Theatre of Blood), Artistic Director of Improbable and an Olivier Award-winner, this fantastic new play is overflowing with a cast of extraordinary characters and bags full of Christmas spirit. Broadbent’s Scrooge will be accompanied by an exceptional group of performers who will bring Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and so many others to life on a set designed by the celebrated Tom Pye (The Testament of Mary, The Death of Klinghoffer, The Low Road). With choreography by Toby Sedgwick (War Horse, The 39 Steps), sound by Gareth Fry and lighting by Peter Mumford, this archetypal story of greed, ghosts and redemption has never been such a dazzling affair.
Playing at the Noël Coward Theatre on London’s glittering West End these Christmas holidays don’t miss your chance to get swept up in the magic of A Christmas Carol. Book tickets for the whole family today.
“One of the most charming things I’ve ever seen on the stage… inventive and clever, with puppets and all, and the brilliant Jim Broadbent“
The Daily Mail
★★★★ “It’s Christmas cake, plum pudding AND trifle, all rolled into one. We are simply overwhelmed, what with poltergeists, the magic carpets, the angel wings and the (brilliant) puppetry”
The Times
“Phelim McDermott’s production is full of invention, with neat puppetry and plenty of cheeky, lo-fi vibrancy. ”
Evening Standard
★★★★ “It sheds fresh light on Dickens’ classic”
Daily Telegraph
★★★★ “The return of the charismatic, hilarious Jim Broadbent is as good a Christmas present as Theatreland could hope for.”
