A Christmas Carol – by Charles Dickens – Directed by Simon WestThank you for your interest in this exciting new venture for Everyman Theatre! As part of the Cardiff Christmas Festival, Charles Dickens’s perennial festive favourite: A Christmas Carol will be performed in the fabulous Spiegel Theatre right in the heart of Cardiff.

The Play

A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens and first published on December 19, 1843. Dickens wrote it during a time of financial difficulty and social concern, and the novella quickly became one of his most famous and enduring works. Its themes of redemption, compassion, and the haunting consequences of greed have resonated with readers ever since. There have been many versions for stage, radio and film. A script is being adapted for this production.
