“Christmas? A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!” exclaims Ebenezer Scrooge in the opening stave of A Christmas Carol. It’s also an excuse for DTC to bring you their joyously authentic staging of this Victorian classic to a theatre near you. With all the actors stuck on a train, Charles Dickens and his faithful tour manager George Dolby find themselves forced into the footlights glare & take on the daunting challenge of portraying over 30 characters.

But, who will play Scrooge?

“Wow! What a performance last night in Aylesbury, absolutely fantastic! I was mesmerised, I laughed and shed a tear. I love a Christmas Carol and it is the best I’ve seen, thank you so much.”
— Julie O'Brien
 
“DTC’s A Christmas Carol is so authentic, staying very close to the original story. It is smooth and seamless. Eery, haunting, heart warming.”
— Love London.com
