A Christmas Carol 13th December 7.30pm Told from the perspective of Scrooge’s deceased business partner, this critically acclaimed adaptation has been hailed as the definitive telling of A Christmas Carol and rated as one of the top Christmas shows in London, Edinburgh and around the UK. Jacob Marley is dead and condemned to an eternity of carrying a heavy chain, forged in life; a life to which he can no longer return except to recount the tale of his miserly business partner, Ebenezer Scrooge and the path that lead to his redemption. Through Marleys words, we learn how three magical spirits opened Scrooge’s eyes and made him realise the true value of love and forgiveness.
