Join Ebenezer on his journey of redemption
Don’t miss Dundee Rep’s award-winning Ensemble take to the stage this Christmas with Charles Dickens’ classic story.
Celebrate Christmas with one of the most loved stories ever written, bringing together magical design and seasonal music. This year’s festive show promises to bring the joy of Christmas straight to the heart of Dundee with a new twist on Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol.
Dundee Rep’s Ensemble will bring the colourful cast of characters to life – the familiar names of Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley, Mrs Fezziwig, Tiny Tim and, of course, Ebenezer Scrooge as you’ve never seen them before.
Ebenezer Scrooge is visited one Christmas Eve by three spirits: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, which highlight Scrooge’s lonely and miserable existence. Tight-fisted Scrooge is then taken on a magical journey towards redemption and wakes on Christmas morning a new person, now eager to spread joy and happiness, join in the festivities and celebrate the beginning of a new life.
This show will be artistic director Andrew Panton’s first Christmas offering at Dundee Rep following the great success of his latest Rep Ensemble production, August: Osage County, running until September 16 at Dundee Rep Theatre.
A story about family, love, regrets and hope, A Christmas Carol has become a classic Christmas tale for generations of grown-ups and children alike – a Christmas must-see for all the family.
The show will run from November 30 until December 31, with previews on November 30 and December 1. To book your tickets, and for more information, visit dundeereptheatre.co.uk or call the box office on 01382 223530.
