Synopsis:

Play adapted for the stage by Patrick Stewart from the novel by Charles Dickens.

Patrick Stewart brings his award-winning one man play to London for a strictly limited season.

Through a wealth of acting virtuosity and flair, Patrick Stewart, renowned for his starring roles in Star Trek, X-men and at the RSC, brings vividly to life the colourful characters in Charles Dickens' classic tale. This production is the perfect Christmas treat for all ages, offering a wonderful opportunity to rediscover this timeless story.

The production was originally seen in London's West End at The Old Vic Theatre where it played for a two week season in January 1994, winning the 1994 Olivier Award for 'Best Entertainment'. The production has also played to sell-out audiences on Broadway and around North America.

Patrick Stewart's recent West End stage credits include David Mamet's A Life in the Theatre at The Apollo Theatre and Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder at The Albery Theatre.
