Matthew Warchus’ big-hearted, Tony Award-winning, smash hit production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic returns to The Old Vic, joyously adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, His Dark Materials) and starring Emmy Award-winner Christopher Eccleston (Accused, The Leftovers) as Ebenezer Scrooge.
