About this event
First devised and performed in 2017, A Christmas Carol was 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 evening with Ebenezer Scrooge: a 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, Dracula and The Odyssey 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!
Suitable for adults and accompanied children 9+
Directed by Simon Harvey
Performed by David Mynne
Written by Charles Dickens and adapted by Andrew McPherson
Additional text by Simon Harvey and David Mynne
“A Christmas Carol was beautiful – apparently simple theatre with just one actor but you go home remembering a cast of dozens! He is a genius.”
Richard Wolfenden-Brown: Director The Plough Arts Centre
What the audience said:
Just brilliant! We loved The Odyssey and this was even better. Thank you!
Incredible performance… and by ONE MAN! Great for kids, parents and grumpy dads!
Absolutely the best show I’ve seen this year.
It was incredible. He must know the book inside out! “God bless us, everyone”!
Excellent. Inventive and creative. Great fun.
Fun? Call that fun? Bah, Humbug!
