A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol
By Ms Pip Buining, Director
One Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted miser, is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge is then transported through time by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future to witness what a lifetime of selfishness has led to. He sees through fresh eyes the lonely life he has created for himself. The story reminds us that it is never too late to change, that kindness is everything, and that there is always hope for a better future.
The cast wove their favourite Christmas carols throughout the well-known ghostly tale.
Congratulations to everyone involved for their thoroughly engaging, lively and moving production. Their ensemble work was seamless, creating haunting and atmospheric moments. Many thanks to all those who supported us on our theatrical journey and brought the show to life, especially Mr Nick Akhurst for his tireless and invaluable work as Producer and Technical Director, Mr Stephen Rose as Theatre Technician, and the tech students, whom they mentored and trained.
Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol in 1843, and it has become a timeless classic that delivers a strong message about social injustice, which is as relevant then, as it is now.
It was a pleasure to direct the show, and work with such a talented and enthusiastic cast, who closed the show with the immortal, kind-hearted and inclusive words of Tiny Tim, that I leave you all with now, God bless us, everyone!
