"A Christmas Carol" by Patrick Barlow

• Theatre

The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come have been asked to accomplish the seemingly impossible: to teach bitter, stingy Ebenezer Scrooge the importance of benevolence and human connection. Nothing could be further from Scrooge’s mind, though – the man despises joyous festivities and spending any money.

This November, the Hamburg Players present a stage version by Patrick Barlow, who retells the Charles Dickens classic with verve and humour. Only a handful of actors take on all the roles – quick scene and costume changes included.

All performances in English.
