Novel by Charles Dickens
Adapted by Paul Stacey
Come home to Christmas at Reading Rep.
Gather your family and friends and step into Dickens’ timeless Christmas story as it comes to life around you.
It’s Christmas Eve. As frost settles across London, three ghosts arrive to turn Scrooge’s world upside down. Swept through the past, present and future, he must confront the choices that have shaped his life – and discover whether it’s ever too late to change.
This brand-new adaptation by Reading Rep Artistic Director Paul Stacey is filled with live music, dancing, storytelling and festive celebration. With the auditorium transformed and the action unfolding around you, it’s A Christmas Carol as you know it – but not quite as you’ve seen it before.
Make a festive day or night of it too. We’ve teamed up with Reading businesses to bring ticket holders exclusive offers. Plan your festive visit.
