This January, join us at The Henfield Hall for an unforgettable journey through the timeless tale of “Scrooge”. Adapted from the beloved story by Charles Dickens and written by Leslie Bricusse, this musical captures the true spirit of Christmas, complete with joyful songs and a little holiday magic.
The story opens on Christmas Eve of 1860, in the heart of London, where the chilly air is alive with the sound of carols. Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Paul Crowe), is the surviving partner of Scrooge and Marley, private merchant bankers and moneylenders. His overworked and underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit (Dave Purchase), struggles to care for his family. Ebenezer dismisses invitations to a family gathering from his nephew, Harry (Ven Malyon), and continues to treat local folk with disdain.
Can Scrooge be made to rediscover the warmth of Christmas? Maybe the visits of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come will help, alongside his deceased business partner Marley (Pete Ingledew). In actual fact, once you see Scrooge’s past life, you may even feel sorry for him.
In her directorial debut, Mandy Ainsworth, also known for running our Theatre School, states, “following our recent successes of bringing our Youth and Adult Theatre together in productions, for the first time, we also bring some of our Theatre School children onto the stage. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing them develop and helping to bring this much-loved story to life alongside our talented cast.”
Performances are at the Henfield Hall on 9th and 10th January 2025 at 7.30pm, and with two performances on 11th January 2025 at 1.00pm and 6.00pm. Tickets are priced at £15 for floor seating and £17.50 for raised seating, and are on sale via www.henfieldtheatrecompany.com and at Stevens Estate Agents in Henfield High Street. This production is kindly sponsored by Coles Automotive.
