It’s Christmas Eve in Victorian Leeds and Ebenezer Scrooge is as grumpy as ever - no twinkling lights, no festive cheer, just pure bah-humbug!

But as the cold night draws in, four ghostly spirits whisk Scrooge on a whirlwind adventure through his past, present, and future, to show him the true meaning of Christmas.

Packed with festive fun, lively music, and a sprinkle of magic, this timeless classic will be brought to life at the Playhouse for Christmas 2025. Adapted for the stage by Deborah McAndrew, directed by Amy Leach (Mr Snow, Animal Farm, Macbeth), and with set & costume design by Hayley Grindle, A Christmas Carol promises a heart-warming and joyful experience for all.

Join us for festive magic and an unforgettable journey of redemption and cheer.

Creative audio description will be available at all performances from 27 November.
