A new version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the seasonal show at Leeds Playhouse (November 20-January 17), adapted by local playwright Deborah McAndrew and directed by Playhouse deputy artistic director Amy Leach.
Deborah said: “A Christmas Carol tells us the most important message in the darkest time of the year - that misery and suffering isn't inevitable, that change is possible, and the end of the story is down to us. It's timeless and beautiful, and perfect for Christmas.”
Amy said: "Debbie’s adaptation has both thrills and festive joy. Christmas at Leeds Playhouse is always a special time."
The Playhouse has earned a strong reputation for staging spectacular Christmas shiws. Its 2023 production of Oliver! won best musical at the UK Theatre Awards, with leading actress Jenny Fitzpatrick also recognised for her outstanding performance. The theatre's recent production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, now on a national tour, has been seen by more than 60,000 people.
