Britain's What's On Event Guide
A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance - Settle
A sparse stage. A single performer. And Victorian London springs to life.
This is ‘A Christmas Carol’ as Charles Dickens performed it himself, drawn directly from his original reading script. Through voice, presence and the power of Dickens’ unaltered words, a whole world unfolds — Scrooge’s chilly office, Fezziwig’s joyous party, the warmth of the Cratchit family, and the haunting visitation of the spirits. The simplicity becomes the magic: no adaptation, no modern reinterpretation — just the story as it thrilled audiences 175 years ago, brought vividly to life.
Step into the magic of Christmas as Mat Jones brings Charles Dickens’ beloved classic to life in this breathtaking one-man performance.
“You do not need spectacle to be spellbound. You just need a storyteller this good.”
