A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production
AN EDINBURGH CHRISTMAS CAROL
Adapted by Tonie Cownie
From the novel by Charles Dickens
“Humbug! You think I have nothing better to do with my money than squander it on that manky halfwit dog!”
Edinburgh folklore tells us that when Charles Dickens was visiting the city on a reading tour, a stroll through a kirkyard brought him to the tombstone of one Ebenezer Scroggie, inspiration struck and A Christmas Carol was born.
Writer and director Tony Cownie (The Venetian Twins, The Belle’s Stratagem) brings this famous festive story back to the city of its birth with a guest appearance from Edinburgh’s best-loved Victorian – Greyfriars Bobby! Join us on the snowy streets of the Old Town for a festive comedy as we revisit this celebrated Christmas tale of a miser redeemed.

Would you like the chance to appear on The Lyceum stage this Christmas?
We are recruiting a community choir made up of Edinburgh residents to sing carols as part of our festive show An Edinburgh Christmas Carol. If you are over 18, in fine singing voice, can commit to up to 2/3 rehearsals a week from October and between 7-10 shows over the festive period then we would love to hear from you.
