About A Christmas Carol

On Christmas Eve night, the miserly and cold-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge embarks upon a journey through his past, present, and future.

Along the way, he learns to appreciate the true meaning of Christmas. A festive treat for all the family, Dickens' beloved tale of redemption is brought to the stage in Buxton in an authentic and joyful adaptation from Operation Moonlight.
