By Charles Dickens adapted by Karen Louise Hebden

The miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, learns to appreciate the need to value people above wealth and possessions in Dickens’ timeless classic, and to understand that the human spirit can rise above any adversity.

With a story line faithful to the original book, sing-along carols, a Greek-style chorus, and fast-moving changes of scene and character, this version broke box office records when first performed at the then Derby Playhouse.

It’s a show to bring Christmas cheer to all ages – both onstage and in the audience.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
