A fun, festive, family friendly show - perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit!
Christmas is almost here, there’s a magic in the air, and top local businesswoman Carol Scrooge says ‘Who cares!?’
She knows what’s important in life: money, money, and more money. You work hard, you make other people work even harder, and then you have a lovely life. And if other people aren’t rich and happy - that’s their problem!
But one night, Carol gets a visit from three very spooky (and very silly) ghosts, telling her to change her ways. Will Carol listen? Will she come to see the true meaning of Christmas? Come along to find out!
Family friendly and packed full of festive fun, jokes and songs – this brand new version of a classic story is ideal for everyone over 5yrs. Get your tickets booked early - previous years shows have been a sell out!
From the team that brought you Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - presented by Platform in association with Glasgow Kelvin College and written by Lewis Hetherington. Directed by Rosalind Sydney.
