A Christmas Carol - An Adaptation by VOX Theatre.
Charles Dickens is back on tour with a staged reading of his seasonal smash hit, A Christmas Carol. But even the classics have to keep up with the times, don’t they?
Dickens’ story is one of the all-time greats. One Christmas Eve, the mean old miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, is visited by a quartet of spirits who force him to confront his past, present and future. Will he change his ways and embrace the true spirit of the season, or will he be damned for all eternity?
Charles wants to simply read the book, from cover to cover, to a grateful and receptive audience, just as he did in 1858. His agent has other ideas. Would it K*ll him to add just a little sparkle, spectacle and - dare we say - showbiz?
Join VOX Theatre for a joyous and uplifting retelling of the Christmas classic. Expect plenty of gags and ghosts, wit and wigs, humour, hats and humbugs.
____________
VOX was born out of a simple but powerful idea: when voices are found, stories are told. And when stories are told, change is possible. In a world that can so easily drown us out with noise, speed, and expectation, theatre offers a place to pause, listen, and speak.
Our mission is to create joyful, uplifting theatre that is full of heart and that is powerfully delightful. Where stories are told that resonate with a wide audience. Our productions are deliberately accessible: they invite audiences in, offering laughter, connection, and reflection, while still challenging us all to see the world differently.
VOX is also about joy. We embrace humour, farce, and a touch of the ridiculous. We want our shows to feel alive: the kind of theatre where audiences lean forward, laugh out loud, and maybe even sing along. We love moments of cabaret, clowning, and satire, the wink to the audience that reminds us theatre is a shared ritual, not a distant performance. At the same time, we care deeply about story—about myth, memory, and the narratives that help us make sense of who we are.
Blending physical theatre, music, multi media, and imaginative storytelling, we create productions that are bold, playful, and full of heart. Our shows invite audiences in with humour, energy, and theatrical mischief, while also exploring deeper questions of identity, belonging, and change.
Ultimately, VOX is about resonance. We create work that resonates with audiences, with communities, and with individuals. In every production, every workshop, every shared laugh, our mission is the same: to uplift, entertain and empower in a vibrant, energetic and accessible way.
