Christmas Carol, A

Synopsis:
Dicken's original story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come. This story has been adapted many many ways but the true magic and the great mix of fright and delight comes only from returning to the original. You are cordially invited to the parlour of Mr Ebeneezer Scrooge for a rousing rendition of this timeless classic served over a two-course Christmas feast. A heartwarming, foot-stomping thoroughly beautiful immersive production. Perfect for first dates, Christmas parties and cheering up the family Scrooge. Late license bar, Two course sharing feast. A tale of ghouls, ghosts and - with your help - barrels of festive cheer. We join Marley over a sumptuous two course feast, and some potent potion to keep off the winter chill. Through parlour games, Christmas songs and a little spirited trickery, we must warm the heart of the bah-humbugging miser, everyone's favourite festive misanthrope, Scrooge.

Notes:
adapted from book by Charles Dickens

Sherlock Holmes: A Working Hypothesis

Synopsis:
Instead of adapting an existing Sherlock Holmes story, Wright has drawn on elements of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works to develop a new theatrical adventure set in 1963. "We join Sherlock three years after the Reichenbach Falls, posing as a Professor of Criminology, giving a lecture on himself, the great detective and master of deduction," says Alexander. "Presumed dead by his closest friend Dr John Watson, the pair quickly reunite and hurtle headlong into a new mystery. Their arch-nemesis, Moriarty, is at large and ready for one final battle."
