This Is My Theatre artistic director Sarah Slator said: “After our successful October tour of Macbeth, which played indoors and to sold-out audiences, we were very much looking forward to a quick turnaround into rehearsals for our Christmas shows.
“Although the latest lockdown has meant that our plans have had to alter slightly, we are delighted to still be able to invite audiences to celebrate the festive season with us as we hit the road with our much-loved adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
