Hull Truck Theatre, 50 Ferensway, Hull, HU2 8LB. 01482 323638.
This fresh adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas ghost story, set in Hull, is a magical, festive treat for all the family.
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.
Presented by Hull Truck Theatre and Hull UK City of Culture 2017, A Christmas Carol will round off the celebrations in Hull Truck Theatre’s Year of Exceptional Drama for 2017.
Runs from 1st December ’17 to 6th January ’18. For more details and tickets visit their website here or call their box office on 01482 323638.
