The Dionysus Way
Charles Dickens' timeless story is reimagined as an intimate ensemble event, lit by the warm glow of candlelight.
Scrooge's journey through memory, fear and redemption unfolds with theatrical precision, rich atmosphere and the immediacy of live performance. The production can transform a theatre, church, hall or heritage space into Dickensian London while retaining the pace and visual impact of a full touring show.

Robert Tremayne's production of The Taxidermist's Daughter received the Arts Council Award for Excellence. His production of Our House received the NODA Award for Excellence.
Dionysus Theatre began during the pandemic, when a group of long-standing collaborators resolved to keep making work together.
Our first live production, The Seagull, opened in Brighton in 2021. Since then, the company has grown from a room above a pub into a touring ensemble with an expanding UK audience and a reputation for bold adaptations, powerful performances and striking atmosphere.
Led by Artistic Director and Founder Robert Tremayne, Dionysus brings artists, technicians and audiences together around one shared idea: that live theatre should be daring, generous and unforgettable.
For £20 a year, join the inner circle of Dionysus Theatre and help us bring bold, beautiful storytelling to stages across the UK.
