A new retelling of Dickens’ classic winter ghost story starring Nicholas Farrell and Mark Gatiss.

It’s Christmas Eve. As the cold, bleak night draws in, the avaricious Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted by the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

Nicholas Farrell (The Crown, Chariots of Fire) plays the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge alongside the multi award-winning Mark Gatiss. Adam Penford (An Enemy of the People, The Madness of George III) directs this landmark new production. Staying true to the heart and spirit of the original novel, A Christmas Carol – a Ghost Story is filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects; are you brave enough to join us?

Made in Nottingham
