This festive season, gather close and join The Tobacco Factory for A Christmas Carol which blazes with ghosts, grit and generosity. A story of reckoning and redemption. Of shadows that speak. Of a heart that must break open to be transformed.
Step into Dickensian Bristol on Christmas Eve. Frost on the cobbles. Bells in the cold air. A city poised on the longest night.
Music cuts through the chill. Stories flare from the darkness. Past, present and future collide. Expect the moments you love, re-forged with laughter, live music and theatrical magic – all unfolding in the unique, in-the-round intimacy of Tobacco Factory Theatres.
Haunting, joyful, and urgent, this thrilling new adaptation by Carl Grose, directed by Heidi Vaughan, is unleashed through the watchful eyes of Jacob Marley and his unruly band of spirits. It promises to be utterly mischievous, menacing and full of festive fire.
This is A Christmas Carol for now: a fierce, heart-lifting reminder that even in the longest night, light can be found.
Bring family. Bring friends.
Leave glowing with the spirit of the season.
