“Magical... Thorne's adaptation is traditional but with a modern twist that delights.” —The Times

“Jack Thorne’s new version of Dickens' story stands high on my list of favourites... combines the social anger with a genuine sense of festivity... this is Dickens done with love and affection. The fable’s warning about the danger of treating poverty as if it were a moral vice could also hardly be more timely.” —Guardian

Charles Dickens’ timeless classic, brought to life in a joyous new adaptation by Jack Thorne.

One bitter Christmas Eve, a cold-hearted miser is visited by four ghosts. Transported to worlds past, present and future, Ebenezer Scrooge witnesses what a lifetime of fear and selfishness has led to, and sees with fresh eyes the lonely life he has built for himself. Can Ebenezer be saved before it’s too late?

This adaptation of A Christmas Carol premiered at The Old Vic, London, in November 2017, in a production directed by Matthew Warchus, and starring Rhys Ifans as Ebenezer Scrooge.
