A Christmas Carol
Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean old man who doesn’t believe in Christmas. He doesn’t have time for family and friends; he’d rather spend the season alone, counting his money. This is the story of one fateful Christmas Eve, when a ghost and a host of friendly spirits make it their business to show a mean old man what he’s been missing…
Our heart-warming festive treat is a musical fantasy for all the family, silly enough for grown-ups and smart enough for children of all ages.
““The annual Christmas show at The Castle theatre in Wellingborough is one of the joys of the festive season, and this year’s production was no different. In fact, I would go so far as to say that A Christmas Carol was probably the best show I’ve seen there... But regardless of what I think, the best reviews of shows like this come from children, and my two were enthralled, amused and excited by the spectacle that unfolded before them. They loved it, and so did I.””
