The Merlin Theatre will this year be paying a visit to the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future as they present ‘A Christmas Carol’ for their 2014 Christmas Show, which runs from 4th to 13th December.
The players have been cast and rehearsals are underway for what promises to be a truly magical show this year, capturing the true essence of Christmas through the retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel.
This ghostly tale is brought to life in an exciting new musical adaptation by the award winning Merlin Theatre Company. Keeping true to the original text, it draws upon the themes of time, family and society’s ills in a tale to warm even the coldest of hearts.
When the spirit of Jacob Marley, his former partner, tells Scrooge he must face his responsibilities, Scrooge is taken on a very busy night to show him the error of his ways.
Bringing the atmosphere of Victorian Christmas traditions to the stage with a cavalcade of colourful Dickensian characters and a ghostly quartet of guardians, A Christmas Carol is the perfect way to get you and your family into the Christmas spirit.
Tickets are now on sale for the production which runs from Thursday 4th – Saturday 13th December. For full listings of dates, times and prices visit www.merlintheatre.co.uk.
