About A Christmas Carol

A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production

Chill winds sweep through the gas-lit streets of Victorian Edinburgh as Dickens’ beloved classic comes to life at The Lyceum for our 2026 festive season.

On Christmas Eve, three mysterious spirits whisk Ebenezer Scrooge on a whirlwind journey through his past, present, and future. Will he discover the true meaning of Christmas before it’s too late?

Directed by our Award-winning Artistic Director, James Brining, let this festive classic melt the cold and fill you with cheer - join us for a Christmas tradition in the making.
