Bah, humbugs! Bristol Old Vic Theatre School return to the Redgrave Theatre with a theatrical feast

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a few carols, would it? Mr Scrooge is sorely lacking in festive spirit. Hell-bent on bringing his colleagues, family and friends down with him, he spends his days being unpleasant and stingy. One bitter night, he is visited by four ghosts who take him on a journey through past, present and future. Will Scrooge change his ways by sunrise?

Patrick Barlow’s high-spirited stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol breathes new life into the familiar tale and its well-known characters. Stocking-stuffed with plenty of festive twinkle, ghostly antics and Dickensian humour, this is the perfect pre-Christmas treat for the whole family. Suitable for ages 8+

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
