A Christmas Carol

Returning after a sell-out run last year, actor Clive Francis returns to the Tabard this Christmas with his acclaimed adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic .

Francis plays the misanthropic Ebenezer Scrooge in this delightful one-man show for family audiences.

Inspired by Dickens’ first reading and performance of A Christmas Carol in December 1853, Clive Francis re-enacts this festive masterpiece with words penned by Dickens, while playing every notable character from the original, haunting story.
