The Story Unfolds: Origins and Evolution

First published in 1843, this classic novella follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he’s visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, ultimately discovering the true spirit of the season.
This stage adaptation by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, His Dark Materials) first premiered at The Old Vic in 2017 and has become a much-loved annual tradition.
