Hull Truck Theatre <strong>and</strong> Hull UK<br />
City of Culture 2017 present A<br />
Christmas Carolt<br />
On a cold Christmas Eve, four spirits<br />
conspire to show Ebenezer Scrooge the error<br />
of his ways. His old business partner, Jacob<br />
Marley has returned from the dead to offer<br />
him a second chance, if he can change his<br />
mean <strong>and</strong> miserly behaviour.<br />
Nowhere are the effects<br />
of poverty more keenly<br />
felt than in the Cratchit<br />
family, especially by their<br />
youngest son, Tiny Tim.<br />
As Scrooge’s inspirational<br />
journey shows him both<br />
the hardship <strong>and</strong> love<br />
of those around him, he<br />
is reminded of his own<br />
powers of charity <strong>and</strong><br />
kindness.<br />
This fresh adaptation of Dicken’s classic<br />
Christmas ghost story, set in Hull, is a<br />
magical, festive treat for all the family.<br />
