Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ Comes To Chester Cathedral

A Christmas Carol will be at Chester Cathedral on Saturday 27th November and returns for a second performance on Wednesday 8th December.

Chapterhouse Theatre Company is renowned for their open-air productions to many notable locations during the summer. When winter arrives, they continue their tours indoors at theatres, castles and cathedrals across the UK. Chapterhouse embraces the festive spirit with award-winning writer Laura Turner’s stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel A Christmas Carol.

Thanks to memorable themes and phrases, Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is sure to leave a memorable impression when it is performed in Cheshire next week at Chester Cathedral. Producer Richard Main said: “Christmas is the most magical time of the year, so I am thrilled that we get to join our audiences in celebrating the season; hopefully people will go away with a warm, wintery glow.”

Complete with beautiful period costumes, song, dance, and a generous helping of Christmas spirit, Chapterhouse’s production is the perfect festive treat for all ages as the winter evenings start to draw in.

Matthew Christmas aptly reprises his 2019 role of Ebenezer Scrooge. He has previously toured with Chapterhouse including the roles of Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights), Sherlock Holmes (The Casebook of Shelock Holmes) and Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice). Matthew says: "This is my third time touring A Christmas Carol and I keep coming back not only because it's a fun and challenging show to be part of, but also because it has been so popular and well received. It is lovely to be back touring around the country, sharing live theatre with local communities and visiting as many Christmas markets as humanly possible along the way!"

A Christmas Carol will be at Chester Cathedral on Saturday 27^th November, and returns for a second performance on Wednesday 8^th December. The UK Tour includes performances at Sheffield Cathedral, Middlesbrough Theatre, Stirling Castle and many other notable venues.
