A Christmas Carol

Bawds will be producing Charles Dickens' well-loved tale at the ADC in December.  Scrooge, an elderly miser, is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.  After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.  In this new adaptation by Barry Brown, we will be attempting to keep the story fresh and the themes relevant for today using film and other devices to emphasise the ghostly mood, whilst not forgetting Dickens' humour and sense of fun.  This will be a busy show with lots of fast-moving scenes and a fair amount of flying and projection.  The running time will be under 2 hours plus interval.
