The 10th-anniversary production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has already earned rave reviews, just a week after its premiere at East Riding Theatre. This Christmas classic, masterfully adapted by Vincent Regan, has been hailed by critics as a “triumph” and a “fabulously atmospheric performance.”
High praise has also been directed at the production itself, co-directed by Vincent Regan and Sasha Walker-Allen, which has been described as featuring “excellent acting and clever staging.” Other reviews celebrate the play as “inventive, engaging, and enjoyable” and a “wonderful interpretation of a traditional story,” with special recognition for the “splendid performances” delivered by the cast.
This year’s production is particularly significant, as A Christmas Carol was the very first play performed at East Riding Theatre when it opened in 2014. Now, it returns to captivate audiences once again as part of the theatre’s milestone celebration.
The timeless tale transports audiences into the magical world of Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter and lonely miser who rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas. Visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve, Scrooge embarks on a powerful journey of reflection—on his past, present, and future—and embraces the transformative power of kindness and community. This bold reimagining of Dickens’ classic serves as a heartwarming tribute to East Riding Theatre’s legacy, reminding audiences of the redemptive magic of the holiday season.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, A Christmas Carol offers the ultimate festive experience to share with family and friends. The production runs until December 28th at East Riding Theatre in Beverley. Tickets can be booked online or by calling the box office at 01482 874050.
