A Christmas Carol
Overview
A Northern Stage Production
Adapted by Karen Louise Hebden
Directed by Natalie Ibu
Ding, dong, ding, dong, the bells are ringing because Scrooge is coming to Newcastle – and he’s meaner and greedier than ever. Bah Humbug!
Is it too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways? Can a magical midnight visit to Christmases past, present and future help him to discover the true meaning of Christmas?
Charles Dickens’ classic story of ghosts, greed and goodwill will fill our stage with festive magic, music and merriment.
Northern Stage’s A Christmas Carol is the story you know and love (complete with all the trimmings) and will warm the hearts of the whole family.
Recommended for ages 5+
