They said it was impossible… but The Court Jesters thrive on impossible, so the challenge of putting on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in its entirety – with only two actors and a pianist – for the third year in a row barely makes them break a sweat. Completely sold-out for the last two years, The Court Jesters’ fun, family-friendly and interactive version of A Christmas Carol is quickly establishing itself as a must-do Christchurch Christmas tradition.
Featuring you as The Ghost of Christmas Past, your mum as Mrs Cratchet, and your work friend’s weird kid as Tiny Tim, Dan Bain’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol is a joyful and hilarious celebration of the good that can be found in all of humanity.
