Antic Dispositions will present the world premiere of a new musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ much-loved classic A Christmas Carol at Middle Temple Hall, December 22-30.

On Christmas Eve, tight-fisted Ebenezer Scrooge is disturbed by the ghost of his business partner, Jacob Marley. To help Scrooge avoid the ghastly fate that awaits him beyond the grave, Marley arranges for him to be visited by three spirits. But can the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come persuade Scrooge to open his heart to the magic of Christmas before the sun rises?

A Christmas Carol has a book and lyrics by Ben Horslen and John Risebero, and music by Christopher Peake. The production is directed by Horslen and Risebero, who also designs.

Casting will be announced shortly.
