One extraordinary night can change everything.

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 is built to meet audiences where they are. It can transform a theatre, church, hall or heritage space into Dickensian London while retaining the scale, pace and visual impact of a full touring show.

Meet the cast.

Every artist carries more than one part of the story, creating Dickens’ London together as a true ensemble.
