A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance

Mat Jones brings A Christmas Carol to St Mary's Parish Church in Woburn on Wednesday 16 December. It's a one-man performance of Dickens' story, with Jones taking on all the roles himself on a bare stage. The production is put on by Vintage Verse, and the whole thing runs for an hour and fifteen minutes, starting at 7 p.m.

There's something about the setting that works here. St Mary's is the parish church of the village, and having the story played out inside it adds its own weight to the evening. It's a family-friendly Christmas community event, so it's one you can bring the kids along to rather than keeping it as an adults-only night out. The performance is billed as a one-man show, which means Jones carries the whole cast on his own, bringing Victorian London to life without a set to lean on.

If you're planning to go, the details are straightforward: it's at St Mary's Parish Church, Woburn, MK17 9PG, on Wednesday 16 December at 7 p.m. Tickets are sold through TicketSolve.
