Theatre
Synopsis:
Charles Dickens’ festive tale of redemption and compassion. One of the most loved short stories ever written.
The smash hit of Christmas past returns to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre by popular demand.
In 1843, Charles Dickens decided to write a political manifesto, exposing and condemning the abject misery of the Victorian poor. Instead, he wrote one of the most enduring popular short stories ever written. In one ghostly Christmas night, miserly businessman Ebenezer Scrooge discovers the limitations of his life and beliefs. He learns to pity himself and to love his neighbour – but is that enough?
