A slapstick comedy from the company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, in which a hapless amateur theatre group attempts Dickens's Scrooge story while sets fail, actors go missing and the cast squabble over the lead. Recommended for ages 8 and up, it runs about 2 hours 20 minutes with an interval. Matinees are on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
