Cast and creatives announced for A Christmas Carol at Reading Rep
Casting and creatives have been announced for A Christmas Carol at Reading Rep this festive season.
As part of the venue’s tenth anniversary season Beth Flintoff’s adaptation will return to the venue from 30 November – 31 December 2022.
The production, which will be co-directed by Chris Cuming (also Movement Director on the production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Reading Rep’s Founding Artistic Director Paul Stacey, relocates the Charles Dickens’ seminal story to Reading.
On the cast are Jeremy Drakes (Finishing The Picture) as Scrooge, Charlie Warner (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) as Bobbie Cratchit, Elijah Ferreira (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Stage Debut Award Winner 2022) as Fred, Rick Romero (founding cast member at Reading Rep, reprising role from 2021 production) as Hopkins and Nathalie Codsi (Nest) as Belle. The casting of Tiny Tim will be announced at a later date.
The Christmas spirit is plentiful. It’s found its way everywhere except Huntley and Palmer’s Biscuit Factory, where Scrooge reigns terror amongst his employees. Will a visit from a familiar ghost or two help bring the sparkle back into Scrooge’s Christmas? Your favourite characters are back, bringing festive wonder to the cobbled streets of Reading.
The production has set design by Anna Lewis (Anna Bella Eema – Off West End Award Nominaton), sound design by Joe Dines (Tom Fool), lighting design by Simeon Miller (Project Dictator) and costume supervision by Jo Lewis (Jekyll & Hyde).
10% of all tickets to A Christmas Carol will be free for those who can’t afford them alongside all general tickets being priced under £20 and thirty tickets for each performance during the show’s first week being priced at £5 for under thirties.
