THE ARTS REVIEW
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Over the course of a misty Christmas night, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three haunting visions, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, that urge them to change their skinflint, lonely ways and embrace the magic and possibility of the festive spirit before it’s too late. Featuring Dickens’s beloved characters, this will be an unmissable family festive treat.
Age recommendation: 7+
Running time: approx. 2hr including interval.
Bring your family and friends for a magical night out at the Gate Theatre! Enjoy a fun, festive evening filled with laughter, wonder, and unforgettable moments. Make memories together and celebrate the joy of live performance!

GRIANSTAD 2025
Sunday 21 December, Winter Solstice Sunset, Everywhere
Reserve your spot now for this gorgeous immersive audio experience from some of our favourite artists of all time, timed to the sun setting on the winter solstice. Designed as a collective experience for listeners all around the country and beyond, audiences are encouraged to use headphones to journey outdoors towards the sunset, and to take in the light.
Originally presented in 2022, this very special adaptation of Grianstad 2025 is dedicated to the incredible Manchán Magan. Manchán inspired so many people around the world to engage more deeply with land and language, the natural world, and the interconnectedness and ancestry that generates and underpins us all. Like so many artists, Manchán was a direct influence in so much of our recent work, and his legacy is truly astonishing.
Book now and you will receive a link with the sound piece and instructions on the morning of 21 December.
