About the play:

Following the success of Peter Panto, we return this Christmas with another familiar tale given a playful theatrical twist. This time, it’s a loving but irreverent take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Scrooge still meets his ghosts, the message of redemption is still there, but there are a few surprises along the way - and plenty of opportunities for audience interaction (oh yes there are).

Dickens' classic tale gets the full pantomime treatment!

Will the Spirits help Ebenezer Scrooge discover the true meaning of Christmas? Or will the villainous Marley and her gang of mischievous urchins drag him into the afterlife, weighed down by chains? Can the all-singing, all-dancing Cratchit family spread enough Christmas cheer to save the day?

There's only one way to find out...

This production contains pantomime-style humour, audience participation, and family-friendly silliness.
