A Christmas Carol
Overview
A Northern Stage Production
Adapted by Karen Louise Hebden
Directed by Natalie Ibu
Ding, dong, ding, dong, the bells are ringing because Scrooge is coming to Newcastle – and he’s meaner and greedier than ever. Bah Humbug!
Is it too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways? Can a magical midnight visit to Christmases past, present and future help him to discover the true meaning of Christmas?
Charles Dickens’ classic story of ghosts, greed and goodwill will fill our stage with festive magic, music and merriment.
Northern Stage’s A Christmas Carol is the story you know and love (complete with all the trimmings) and will warm the hearts of the whole family.
Recommended for ages 5+
Our BSL Interpreted performances will be interpreted by David Wycherley and Lauren Lister.

Seating
A note on seating:
For A Christmas Carol there are two blocks of seating: Section 1 and Section 2 with the stage in the middle.
The show is created to perform to audiences in both seating blocks equally. There is no ‘best’ area. Section 2 has fewer seats so the back row of section 2 is closer to the action than the back of section 1. You’ll get a great view of the action wherever you choose to sit.
The Cast
There are two entrances to the theatre, Kings Road Entrance (this is the taxi drop-off/collection point) and the Main Entrance.
Both level entrances have automated doors. These lead into the foyer area where you will find the Restaurant, Bar, Box Office and entrances to Stages 1, 2 and 3.
STEP FREE ACCESS
Northern Stage is fully accessible. The theatre has three lifts providing access to all parts of the building, including the accessible toilets, baby changing facilities, stages 2 & 3 and the backstage area. Buggy parking is available

There are five wheelchair positions in Stage 1, two positions in Stage 2 and all seats are removeable in Stage 3.
