    Why watch A Christmas Carol?

    • London's longest-running adaptation of Dickens's timeless classic, the production has become an enduring Christmas tradition in the city.
    • John Simm, star of the cult TV show 'Life on Mars', brings an electrifying energy to Scrooge under the helm of Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
    • A Christmas Carol is a story of redemption, gratitude, greed, and selfishness - all the makings of the perfect Christmas tale!
    • Experience the joyous spectacle with surprising elements like parachuting Brussels sprouts and a zip-lining turkey on stage with tickets to A Christmas Carol.

    Dickens wished for his story to be shared with warmth and rally communities - a quality this production exudes with care. Produced by the former artistic director of the Old Vic – Matthew Warchus, this production has been keeping the Christmas spirit alive since 2017.
    Watch as a lonely and spiteful man is confronted by otherworldly visitors who reveal the depth of his inner emotions. Will this be enough to turn him around or is it too late for Scrooge? Get tickets to A Christmas Carol London and find out!

    Storyline

    Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean old man who hates Christmas. He is rude to the people he works with, dismissive of his nephew, and downright refuses to be charitable. Tired of his ways, he is soon confronted by ghosts of his past and forced to reconsider the future. As Scrooge looks upon his life will he be moved enough to change? Watch A Christmas Carol in London and discover the merriment of compassion.
