About this event
Live on stage and in person, television favourites Colin Baker (Doctor Who, The Brothers) and Peter Purves (Blue Peter, The Office) lead the cast in a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic.
The play also features a rare, specially recorded appearance by Tom Baker (Doctor Who, Monarch Of The Glen) as Jacob Marley!
Presented by the Crime And Comedy Theatre Company as a radio-play-live-on-stage, the setting is a radio studio, the actors ready as if for a radio broadcast, and the sound effects are created live, transporting the audience to Victorian London, for this 180th-anniversary production of Dickens’ timeless tale of charity, forgiveness and redemption at Christmas.
“Colin Baker gives a mesmerising performance… Peter Purves sets the scene perfectly… Wonderful… Storytelling magic… The audience were spellbound throughout!” Back To Theatre
