Liverpool Playhouse will stage a socially distanced production of A Christmas Carol in December, marking Artistic Director Gemma Bodinetz’ final production leading the venue.

Bodinetz will direct the festive production, which is adapted by Patrick Barlow and will star Adam Keast as Ebenezer Scrooge, alongside a cast of local actors.

Bodinetz said: "I am delighted that my final show as director of the Everyman and Playhouse will be a festive treat for Liverpool families.

"Patrick Barlow’s version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has the same fun and invention (and small cast size) that he brought to The 39 Steps but also retains the tenderness at its centre.

"Perhaps this Christmas more than any other, it will be poignant to remember the importance of human connection and goodwill to all mankind."

A Christmas Carol will run from 4-27 December 2020 with tickets available to purchase from 22 October here.
