David Edgar’s hugely successful adaptation of Charles Dickens’ much-loved classic story A Christmas Carol makes a welcome return to Stratford-upon-Avon this Christmas.

Described by The Telegraph as “a magnificent achievement”, David Edgar’s socially-conscious adaptation of Dickens’ classic fable opened in 2017 to critical acclaim in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where it played to sell-out audiences. The production was later revived the following year due to audience demand.

This festive tale of redemption and compassion follows cold-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge, who - over the course of one ghostly Christmas night – learns to pity himself and to love his neighbour – but is that enough?

A Christmas Carol shows from Wednesday 26 October 2022 - Sunday 1 January 2023. Tickets are available at rsc.org.uk.
