A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance at The Cockpit

A bare stage. A single performer. And Victorian London flickers into life. This Christmas, Vintage Verse is delighted to present A Christmas Carol in its purest and most powerful form, performed as Charles Dickens originally intended. Drawn directly from Dickens’ own reading script, this acclaimed one-man production by Mat Jones brings the author’s unaltered words vividly to life. Through voice alone, whole worlds unfold. Scrooge’s frost-laced counting house. Fezziwig’s glittering Christmas ball. The tender warmth of the Cratchit family hearth. And the chilling, transformative visits of the spirits. There is no adaptation. No modern retelling. No embellishment. Only Dickens’ timeless storytelling, as it captivated audiences over 180 years ago. Mat Jones presents his celebrated solo performance of this beloved festive classic, inviting you to step into the magic, atmosphere and wonder of Christmas past. Join Mat for an intimate and unforgettable evening of theatre, where simplicity becomes spellbinding, and the true spirit of Christmas comes alive.

Performances: 6 December at 4:30pm and 7:00pm.
