The Cratchit family are making the most of what they've got, whilst the bitter old miser Ebenezer Scrooge is sitting in his cold room talking to the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley... and so begins Dicken's classic tale of greed, grief, and the redemptive power of Christmas.

A new version of Dickens' Christmas classic
Best known for his work on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Jack Thorne's big-hearted adaptation won 5 Tony Awards during its Broadway run, but takes a few liberties with Dickens' script.
Photo: oldvictheatre.comThe character of Scrooge is given a debt-ridden bully of a dad to explain away his lack of empathy, for example, and his change of heart is rewarded with a reunion with his long-lost love.
Atmospheric staging performed in-the-round
The show is performed in-the-round inside a festively decorated auditorium brimming with mince pies, music and merriment. The audience is immersed inside the story with a few seats on the stage and a walkway through the stalls.
The performers all add to the jolly atmosphere by handing out mince pies and satsumas before the play begins!

The Times: ★★★★★ "A mgaical revival"; Evening Standard: ★★★★ "Full of song and heart"; The Observer: ★★★★ "Matthew Warchus' production is a love song to Christmas, to the redeeming power of theatre and, not least, to The Old Vic itself"
A Christmas Carol Cast & Creatives
Director: Matthew Warchus; Written by: Charles Dickens, Jack Thorne
