A Christmas Carol at Old Vic Theatre

The Old Vic’s A Christmas Carol returns to London, bringing heart, warmth, and festive wonder to the West End.

Jack Thorne’s (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) celebrated adaptation, directed by Matthew Warchus, transforms Charles Dickens’ classic into a theatrical experience that captures the spirit of the season like no other.
