Charles Dickens' festive classic gets the Tobacco Factory treatment in a new Christmas production filled with ghosts, transformation and the timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge.
Tobacco Factory Theatres brings a thrilling new adaptation of A Christmas Carol to its in-the-round Factory Theatre from 20 November 2026 to 9 January 2027, adapted by Carl Grose and directed by Heidi Vaughan and Lydia Cook.
A fresh telling
Set on a frost-bitten Dickensian Christmas Eve, the story unfolds through the watchful eyes of Jacob Marley and his unruly band of spirits, as Past, Present and Future collide around Ebenezer Scrooge. Expect the moments audiences love reforged with live music, theatrical magic and plenty of mischief.
A story of redemption
Billed as "haunting, joyful and urgent", the production promises a heart that must break open to be transformed – a fierce, heart-lifting reminder that light can be found even on the longest night.
