A Christmas Carol at the Eastern Angles Centre

Eastern Angles brings a bold new musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol to Suffolk this winter, featuring an all-star cast including Ian Crowe as the miserly Scrooge.

A Christmas Carol at the Eastern Angles Centre in Ipswich

Event details

Description

Eastern Angles is set to delight audiences with their imaginative new production of Charles Dickens' beloved Christmas tale, running at the Eastern Angles Centre in Ipswich from 28th November to 5th January, before moving to Woodbridge's Seckford Theatre from 8th to 11th January.

This fresh interpretation promises to bring the timeless story to life with a distinctly Suffolk flavour, featuring:

  • Original music and puppetry.

  • A unique immersive staging.

  • The company's signature "Fezziwig festive party."

  • A stellar cast including Ian Crowe as Scrooge, Felicity Sparks as The Newspaper Seller, David Monteith as The Lamplighter, and Charlie Venables as The Blacksmith.

More than just another Christmas show

The production aims to resonate with contemporary audiences by highlighting the story's themes of community spirit and the struggles of working families. Through music, merriment, and a touch of theatrical magic, this new adaptation promises to capture the heart of Dickens' message about kindness triumphing over greed.

True to Eastern Angles' reputation for innovative theatre, audiences can expect to be fully immersed in Victorian London (with a Suffolk twist), as the company transforms their venues into a world where joy, anarchy, and Christmas spirit reign supreme.
