A Christmas Carol - Old Vic in London
Matthew Warchus, Artistic Director of the Old Vic, brings back his widely acclaimed and heartwarming production of Charles Dickens' timeless classic this festive season, with a joyful stage adaptation by Jack Thorne. London's longest-running adaptation of this beloved festive favourite stars John Simm as Ebenezer Scrooge.
A Christmas Carol - The Story
A Christmas Carol follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a greedy old man who despises Christmas and everything it represents. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by three ghosts who show him the impact of his selfishness on not only himself but others. Through his visits to the past, present and future, Scrooge learns the importance of generosity, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Known for its distinctive staging, this adaptation offers an immersive experience, where audiences are drawn into the heart of the story and might even be treated to a complimentary mince pie or satsuma. Over the years, the production has garnered widespread critical acclaim, with its Broadway version winning five awards at the 2021 Tony Awards.
