This festive season, in the magnificent unique setting of the Painted Hall, known as Britain’s Sistine Chapel, Goblin Theatre will present a vibrant new adaptation of Charles Dickens’s spooky classic tale A Christmas Carol from 3-23 December.

This atmospheric musical show, featuring original songs and music, will be performed live by a talented cast of actor musicians. 

Inspired by the Old Royal Naval College’s Dickensian links, Goblin Theatre’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol evokes the historical figures and ‘ghosts’ of the Painted Hall to bring this iconic ghost story to life. This fast paced, funny and spooky show is the perfect festive treat for all the family this Christmas.  

Live music is integral to this exciting new production and Fezziwig’s party transforms the Painted  Hall into a real-life ceilidh with the cast performing the songs live. The cast is comprised of Victoria  Boyce (Father Christmas at the Hall, Royal Albert Hall), Matt Burns (Once, UK tour), Niccolò Curradi  (La Strada, UK tour/The Other Palace), Rob Gathercole (The Ballad of Rudy, Goblin Theatre) and Mia  Jerome (The Lost Lending Library, Punchdrunk).

This thrilling site-specific production is directed by  Andrew Barry (Royal Exchange Theatre Elders Company), with music by Goblin Theatre’s resident  composers Mary Erskine and Will Dollard, and a book by Goblin Theatre’s Artistic Director Matt Borgatti.

Borgatti said: “The production is very much set in the Painted Hall, and  although we travel through time and space, it’s the place we return to throughout the show. This is  one of our biggest shows yet, and we’re so delighted to be able to introduce our work to new  audiences in Greenwich and beyond.”
