Overview
Join us on this short break to see one of the classic Christmas Productions. The smash hit of Christmas Past returns to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre by popular demand following sell-out success in 2017 and 2018. ADRIAN EDMONDSON will play Ebenezer Scrooge in David Edgar’s critically acclaimed adaptation of Charles Dickens’ much-loved classic, A Christmas Carol. In 1843, Charles Dickens decided to write a political manifesto, exposing and condemning the abject misery of the Victorian poor. Instead, he produced 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? A Christmas Carol is the perfect accompaniment to the festive season for all ages.
