Scrooge - the Musical
Performed 28, 29 and 30 November and 5 and 6 December
A large cast of youngsters and adults entertained the audience with a musical version of Charles Dickens' perennial Christmas favourite Scrooge. Sad and uplifting at the same time, it's the tale of miserable old miser Scrooge, played by (who else) Colin Dobell, who, after being shown Christmas past present and future, decides to mend his way and enjoy life.
Directed by Sue Brown, assistant director Celia Bradnam.
