Sat 11th December 7:30pm
Ebenezer Scrooge is a changed man…
Having given away too much to charity he is now caught between the dangerous loan shark Mr Hardplace, calling in his debt on Christmas Eve, and the evil orphanage mistress Mrs Rock who plans to force children into deadly dangerous factory work on Christmas day.
Scrooge’s only hope is to recruit his old friends – the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future – to bring down Hardplace’s criminal organisation and liberate the children of Rock’s orphanage before it’s too late.
The Pantaloons present a brand new adventure that’s part supernatural time-travel heist, part seasonal sequel – and all unasked for.

If they can help Catherine Dickens, Caitlin Thomas and John Betjeman find new hope for the future – maybe they can get their mojo back.
