Touring from 6 December 2024
The Travelling Players return with their suitcases bursting with merriment, mayhem and humbug! They tell the haunting tale of a mean and miserly old man; the tight-fisted curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge.
Between dusk and dawn Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future! Will he mend his ways? Will he become a new man? Will he greet the morning with a… Merry Christmas Everyone?
Through their unique brand of quirky storytelling, live action, music, a puppet or two, a host of Gothic surprises, some ghostly flights of fancy and a clanking of chains, the Travelling Players bring this Yuletide classic to life.
Join us for this heartfelt hug of a tale! After all, as Dickens said: “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour”.
A sociable event to send you home warm and happy. Presented by Forest Forge, Bumblefly Theatre and Mischievous Theatre.
We want our performances to be as accessible as possible. Please download our Visual Story below to find out more about the experience of coming to the show.
To accompany this production, and as part of our Wordsmiths Creative Writing programme, we have created a new worksheet of playful writing activities for you to do at home.
