A Christmas Carol
performed by CLIVE FRANCIS
Sunday 2nd December at 7.30pm in the Main House
A unique one-man version of Charles Dickens classic novel, adapted by Clive Francis (Poldark; Yes, Prime Minister and a noted caricaturist), who repeats his acclaimed RSC performance as the misanthropic Ebenezer Scrooge, bringing to life a whole galaxy of Dickensian characters from the spectral Jacob Marley to the warm and loving Bob Cratchit, from Mrs Cratchit to the sadness of Tiny Tim and not forgetting of course, the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future.Bring the children to this most English of English Christmas stories... and Humbug to those who say otherwise!
