Next Christmas, join Theatre by the Lake for a heartwarming yet haunting retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, brought vividly to life by the creative team behind The Lost Spells.
It’s midnight on Christmas Eve, and the ghostly choir gathers… Scrooge, a hard-nosed Victorian businessman from Keswick, has made his fortune in the big city but lost his joy along the way. As his long-departed partner Jacob Marley returns from the grave, the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come take Scrooge on an unforgettable journey to rediscover the meaning of Christmas.
Filled with original songs, live music, and plenty of festive magic, this vibrant new adaptation by Matt Borgatti, with music and lyrics by Will Dollard and Mary Erskine, captures the heart and humour of Dickens’ story while adding a Cumbrian twist.
Perfect for families and theatre lovers alike, A Christmas Carol is a joyful, spine-tingling celebration of redemption and goodwill that will leave you humming all the way home.
