A Christmas Carol

Celebrate the festive season with a mesmeric solo performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless story

performed by David Mynne, veteran Cornish actor and a founder member of Kneehigh

Suitable for Age 9+

First devised and performed in 2017, A Christmas Carol is David’s second piece of work by Charles Dickens. The show has toured nationally, every December, since then and had a highly successful run in Los Angeles in 2019.

Joy to all mankind? Bah!

Spend an afternoon in the company of a mean, tight-fisted, squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching, covetous old miser. Bah!

Watch horrified as Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by four creepy ghosts (wooo-oooh) each one more terrifying than the last. Bah!

Sob at the bedside of a tiny, malnourished child riven with rickets. Bah!

In their inimitable style, the team that brought you Great Expectations, The Odyssey, Canterbury Tales and Dracula: the Vampyr will now take you on a grim (sort of) journey through the dark, dismal streets of Victorian London.

This is Dickens’ original words with added silliness. Silliness? Bah!

Celebrate the festive season with a mesmerising one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless, transformative story: A Christmas Carol. Bah!

Now with even more Humbug!
