David Mynne: A Christmas Carol

Celebrate the festive season with a mesmerising one-man performance of Dickens’ timeless, transformative story: A Christmas Carol. Bah! Humbug!

David Mynne, veteran Cornish actor and a founder member of Kneehigh, returns to Dorset with a one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Spend an evening in the company of a mean, tight-fisted, squeezing, grasping, clutching old miser. Bah! Watch horrified as Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by four creepy ghosts (wooo-oooh) each one more terrifying than the last. Bah! Sob at the bedside of a tiny, malnourished child riven with rickets. Bah!

In their inimitable style, the team that brought you Great Expectations, The Odyssey, Canterbury Tales and Dracula: the Vampyr will now take you on a grim journey through the dark, dismal streets of Victorian London.

This is Dickens’ original words with added silliness. Silliness? Bah!

Suitable for adults and older children (9+) Running Time: 70mins + interval
