A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Adapted and created by Shake & Stir Theatre Co.
Tue 1 Dec – Sun 6 Dec | The Civic
The Magic Returns.
This December, the award-winning stage spectacle, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, returns to The Civic. Brimful of song, humour, love, and lashings of festive joy, A Christmas Carol is a magical, grand-in-scale production - sure to become a much-anticipated tradition for the whole family here in Tāmaki Makaurau.
It’s Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge is counting down the seconds until the silliness of the season passes. Deeply entrenched in his own misery, Scrooge receives a visit from four ghosts who whisk him away on a journey through Christmases past, present, and future. Here, he revisits fragments of his life and is faced with a number of choices. Redemption is his for the taking – but is Old Scrooge capable of changing his ways before it’s too late?
Shake & Stir Theatre Co's Artistic Director, Ross Balbuziente says: “Its sentiment resonates more profoundly than ever, reminding us of the enduring themes of love, forgiveness, and generosity that make the holiday season truly magical.”
Complete with live music, yule-tide carolling, innovative video design, lavish costumes and, of course, snow, A Christmas Carol, is quite simply “the most uplifting theatrical experience you’ll have this year” (The Courier-Mail).
