A Christmas Carol

Matthew Warchus’ smash hit production of Charles Dickens’s immortal classic A Christmas Carol in London is a true holiday staple.

A Christmas Carol is a seasonal theatre production that brings Charles Dickens's classic story to the stage. Matthew Warchus directs the staging, and the adaptation is by Jack Thorne, whose writing credits include Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the Netflix series Adolescence.

The adaptation was first created for The Old Vic in London, opening during the Christmas season, and has returned to the venue each year since. The production has also played on Broadway, where it won five Tony Awards, has toured across the United States and has been staged in Melbourne.

The Old Vic hosts concerts and shows in London, and this production is presented there as a holiday fixture. Its long run at the venue and its wider touring history mean it is widely seen as a festive production for theatregoers planning a seasonal outing.
