Most of us, whatever our age or background, are familiar with the avarice (and belated conversion) of Ebenezer Scrooge, be it through Alastair Sim, Albert Finney or The Muppets….and soon to be Johnny Depp! Here at Nailsea Little Theatre we felt it was time for us to offer this festive classic, adapted from Dickens’ novella of December 1843 – a time in Victorian Britain where the card, the carols, mistletoe and the Christmas tree were reviving in popularity and pudding, turkey and punch were the fare for the big day.

Dickens’ visit to the Ragged School for poor and illiterate street children, along with his own experience as a 12-year-old working in a shoe blacking factory, prompted his compassionate inclusion of the plight of children in his novels. But let’s not get too maudlin. A review in The Illustrated London News described the story thus: “impressive eloquence…its unfeigned lightness of heart – its playful and sparkling humour with ourselves, with each other, and the season and the author.”

Start your very own festive celebrations by booking a seat in our lovely theatre to witness the power of a true Victorian ghost story.

The Sunday matinee will start at 2:30pm with the doors opening at 1:45pm while the evening shows will start at 7:45 with the doors opening at 7 o'clock.
