Comedy stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol in which Aubrey Flint tries to save a struggling retirement home with the help of a chaotic Christmas production.
Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint opens at the Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 12 December, with further performances on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December at various times. It's a comedy stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol, directed by Jack Spring, and the cast is a heavy-hitting one: John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Richard E. Grant and Jim Broadbent.
The story doesn't start with Scrooge. Aubrey Flint is forced into community service at a struggling retirement home, under threat from an evil property developer. To save the home, a chaotic production of A Christmas Carol is brought to life, and along the way Aubrey discovers the power of the local community and rediscovers the magic of Christmas. It's a play about a play, so you get the Dickens story running inside the main plot.
With Bradley, Imrie, Grant and Broadbent on the bill, there's a lot of comedic weight behind it. It's a comedy first and foremost, and the 'chaotic' part of that production is where the laughs come from. The whole thing runs an hour and 38 minutes, so it's a relatively tight evening.
