A CHRISTMAS CAROL
THE SHOW WILL GO ON THIS CHRISTMAS AS APOLLO THEATRE COMPANY HIT THE ROAD WITH DICKENS’ CHRISTMAS CLASSIC
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Ebenezer Scrooge will be brought to life on stage this December as Apollo Theatre Company are set to take their hit production of A Christmas Carol on tour to Surrey, Devon and Berkshire.
First produced last year, this original adaptation by director, Joseph O’Malley (The 39 Steps) sees a cast of four tell Charles Dickens’ most famous story in a traditional, yet unique production that combines classic storytelling with puppetry, physical theatre and music, using some of the most evocative traditional Christmas carols.
The production will open at the beautiful Barn Theatre in Oxted, Surrey on 13th December before visiting the Pavilions in Teignmouth, Devon and culminating at South Hill Park in Bracknell where it will run until Christmas Eve.
Artistic director, Tim Astley says of the production, “With so many theatres sadly forced to cancel their Christmas shows this year, we wanted to give people the chance to include a trip to the theatre in their Christmas plans and, in the absence of pantos, what better show to see than the greatest Christmas story ever written.
“This is a beautiful production that contains all the traditional elements of the original story, told in a fast-paced, incredibly creative manner that is sure to delight the whole family and put everyone in the Christmas spirit.”
The production will run at one hour with no interval. The performers will be fully socially-distanced and each venue will be fully compliant with all government Covid guidelines. Audience members will be seated in socially distanced groups of no more than six people and masks may have to be worn if possible.
The production will also be live-streamed online from the Kenton Theatre in Henley-on-Thames on 17th December, after which it will be available on demand.
So, get booking now and join Ebenezer Scrooge and co. for the perfect Christmas treat.
