Like our popular Peter Pan pantomime two years earlier, in Scrooge we had another classic story that adapted well to pantomime.

You met all the expected Dickens characters including Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley and of course Scrooge himself, plus the odd ghost or two, but with the traditional pantomime dame in the shape of Nora the Tea Lady and her Crazy Comic Chefs Sam ’n’ Ella. Romance too, with Polly and Frederic.

If you made it your Christmas Present, you got Christmas Past and Christmas Future thrown in at no extra charge! Even Scrooge might have approve of such a deal.
