A Christmas Carol - Leaflet, 1995

Title

A Christmas Carol - Leaflet, 1995

Date

22 December 1995

Description

Double-sided leaflet for musical version of A Christmas Carol, the Theatre Royal's non-Pantomime Christmas show for the 1995/1996 season.

What's the story?

Starring Anton Rodgers as Scrooge, this musical version of Dicken’s classic A Christmas Carol was written by former Radio 1 D.J. Mike Read.
Following on from the success of Read’s musical version of Great Expectations in 1994/1995, this was the second successive non-Panto Christmas show presented at the Theatre Royal.
This leaflet is from the private collection of Rebekah Pickering-Wood, a child performer in both A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations.
Links can be found on this archive to extensive oral history interviews with Rebekah, where from the audition process to performing on stage, she provides a vivid account of these two shows, as well as an insight into the life of the theatre.
