Programme Note
Festive seasons past, present and future combine in this seasonal treat as Charles Dickens gives a dramatic re-telling of his classic tale: ‘A Christmas Carol’. In this exciting adaptation, actor Tama Matheson breathes fresh life into Dickens who takes to the stage to tell his moving morality tale of Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim and all those Christmas ghosts, accompanied by an atmospheric soundscape of Christmas carols performed a string trio from the London Mozart Players and a quartet from Trinity School London.
By turns gloriously funny, sad, joyous and heart-rending, this evocative blend of carols and drama captures the wonder, pathos and sheer spookiness of this Christmas classic. It’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit!
The musical backdrop to the story is provided by a piano trio made up of LMP players. Nicoline Kraamwinkel (violin), Sebastian Comberti (cello) and Julian Rolton (piano), and a quartet of choristers from Trinity School, who will set the scene for the play with some of the most loved Christmas Carols such as O Holy Night and Good King Wenceslas
