A Christmas favourite is coming to Solihull this November as A Christmas Carol takes to the stage at The Core Theatre.
The Dickens Theatre Company will perform its adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic on Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 November, with five performances taking place across the two days.
The production forms part of the company's Revision On Tour, which brings GCSE English texts to life through live theatre.
The unusual production sees Charles Dickens and his tour manager George Dolby left to play Scrooge and more than 30 other characters after the rest of the cast supposedly get stuck on a train.
When is A Christmas Carol on?
There are five performances at The Core:
Monday 2 November at 1pm
Monday 2 November at 7pm
Tuesday 3 November at 10.30am
Tuesday 3 November at 1pm
Tuesday 3 November at 7pm
The show lasts around 75 minutes without an interval and is recommended for ages eight and above.
Students attending the 10.30am and 1pm performances can also stay for a free 20-minute Q&A with the cast.
How much are tickets?
Tickets cost £20, with concessions available for £18.
There is also a school group rate of £15 per student for groups of 10 or more, with accompanying adults going free.
