It's that famous story that we all get told from such a young age, combined with the child-like imaginations that we unlock when the power goes out.
This brand new adaptation incorporates the original story of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, in a modern day style but still with a classic twist! Three siblings, two brothers and their younger sister, Andrew, James and Vicky go spend Christmas together in their aunties cottage. Whilst Andrew's hoping to spend Christmas stuffing their faces and watching good old Christmas TV, James and Vicky are thrilled just to be in a place that holds all their childhood memories. Plans change when the weather takes a turn for the worst and cuts the power and reception to the house!
The show is suitable for children 4 years and older, with special effects that make the children say wow and heart warming moments which takes the cast on a flight around the world, makes you forget where you are and just enjoy the entirety of the story. Not only are the cast amazing, with one actor playing no less than eight characters but the set design helps bring the idea that these characters had an amazing time in their aunties cottage when they were younger, playing exciting games of hide and seek and celebrating the holidays.
With Andrew being a bit of a humbug, only wanting to watch the Christmas special of Doctor Who and nothing else on a cold, snowy Christmas eve. James and Vicky use all their excitement and energy to tell the tale of A Christmas Carol, slowly and surely luring Andrew into the story. The three of them discover the true meaning of Christmas - generosity, family, friends, love and sharing.
So if you looking for something do, sat at home, putting off the idea of going to another panto, or fed up of the kids saying they are bored. Then I recommend you pop down to the Lakeside and visit the gallery and the show itself for a lovely day out.
Box office: 0115 846 7777
The show runs up until December 29th and if you can get down to Lakeside in Nottingham this Christmas, then I highly recommend it, with tickets on sale at £8.50 it's enjoyable for all the family and for any age.
