“A Christmas Carol” performance at Severn Valley Country Park
Shropshire Council is happy to welcome the Rain or Shine Theatre Company to Severn Valley Country Park for a ‘one-night only’ performance of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. Rain or Shine Theatre Company are setting up stage at the country park on Sunday 3 January 2016 as part of their national winter tour.
In the spirit of pantomime, this festive performance follows the journey of the miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, as he travels with the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future. Taken back to view forgotten images of his life and what might have been, Scrooge discovers a hidden side to himself, and begins to realise the meaning of Christmas and a new understanding of humanity.
With surprises throughout, this adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale is set in Victorian costume with a cast of five playing a whole host of characters. You can be sure of an entertaining evening with a generous sprinkling of ‘Bah – Humbug!’
