“Picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December! It's not fair sir d'ye hear me? Just not fair.”

Written by Patrick Barlow

Directed by Emma Earle

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+

“Loads of action-packed family entertainment!” – StageTalk Magazine, praise for BOVTS 2024 Christmas show
“A richly enjoyable, playful production!” – Bristol 24/7, praise for BOVTS 2024 Christmas show
One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
