In 1843 Charles Dickens was writing a new Christmas story to highlight the plight of the overworked poor. Unable to sleep, he walked the streets of London at night composing the story in his head and felt his characters, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, urging him to tell their story. The result was 'A Christmas Carol' in which he created the miser Ebenezer Scrooge and gave us a message of hope, that even the hardest heart can soften and do good.
On
Christmas Eve Scrooge is in his counting house being his mean, nasty
self. But things are about to change. At night he is terrified by a
visit from the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who
warns him to change his ways or suffer for eternity. He is visited, in
succession, by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future who show
him as he was, as he is now and as he will be ...
Prepare
to be transported back into the world of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit
and Tiny Tim, as they come vividly to life in this powerful performance
of Dickens’s classic tale.
“Told with great skill. An excellent evening of entertainment.”
Oxhill News.
“A complete transformation into the world of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit.”

English Ghost Stories - 'A Warning to the Curious'
Chilling stories of Ghostly Guardians
England is rich in stories of ghosts and many of these are connected with treasure. Sometimes treasure is found through the appearance of a ghost but more often than not, the finder of treasure meets a terrifying shock, or at worst a sudden end through the power of a ghostly guardian. Here are some of the best stories.

RECENTLY- Ghost Stories
It's after Halloween and time for ghost stories. A performance based on the chilling English stories of M. R. James. Spooky stories for the darker time of year, to give you something to shiver about other than the weather! You can find out more about M. R. James on previous postings on this blog.
The stories begin prosaically enough with a slow build up of details which gradually become sinister and warn the listener that something nasty is about to happen. Then suddenly, it happens. There is a frisson of fear for an instant and then the loose ends are neatly tied up.
The beauty of most ghost stories is that they are not frightening in the way our real world can be, but in a more primitive way that reminds us of the game of saying 'Boo!' when we were very young. The unease is pleasurable rather than frightening.
For adults (and 15 +).
