On a cold Christmas Eve, four spirits conspire to show Ebenezer Scrooge the error of his ways. His old business partner, Jacob Marley has returned from the dead to offer him a second chance, if he can change his mean and miserly behaviour. Nowhere are the effects of poverty more keenly felt than in the Cratchit family, especially by their youngest son, Tiny Tim. As Scrooge's inspirational journey shows him both the hardship and love of those around him, he is reminded of his own powers of charity and kindness.

A Victorian family prepares a paper theatre for a performance of A Christmas Carol. The audience enters the imagination of one of the children and quickly, the cardboard stage transforms to reveal a magical world containing real dancers and stylised sets. The classic tale unfolds in a rich tapestry of highly absorbing, theatrical drama featuring sumptuous visual effects inspired by the techniques of early cinema. In a daring twist of format, characters are portrayed by dancers and voiced by an eclectic cast of the world's most recognisable actors, including Andy Serkis, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Carey Mulligan and Simon Russell Beale. The mix of danced action and spoken narration brings fresh dimension to Dickens' characters and poetic language, whilst remaining true to the beauty of the author's original narrative.

This adaptation brings Dickens' atmospheric Ghost Story of Christmas to life through the company's characteristic cocktail of textual accuracy, fun, lively action, music and audience participation in order to educate, involve and inspire. As the actors bring to life Scrooge, squeezing, wrenching, grasping, hard and sharp as flint, the audience will join him on the journey that he is forced to make through his past present and future until laughter and goodness replace the ice in his heart.Company Box Clever.
