A Christmas Carol

2017 - Ongoing

Open Bar have brought Dickens’ classic Christmas tale into the heart of Fuller’s pubs since 2017. In true Open Bar style, the show is totally family friendly, engaging and full of laughs. With music, ghostly goings-on and more than a little Christmas magic!

A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter old miser, who, on Christmas Eve is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Desperate to convince him of the error of his ways, Marley sends three ghosts to lead Scrooge through his past, present and future. The spirit (or spirits in this case) of Christmas is brought to life in this Classic tale.

Audience Reviews:
 
“From 17 to 62, we all enjoyed this show, in a very intimate venue where no one could hide! Great use of costume and props really showed off the talents of the cast who all seemed to relish their task. Would highly recommend for a truly festive night out.”
 
“The second time we have gone and it does not disappoint. Fabulous delivery, good fun and makes you feel very Christmassy. Audience participation makes it that much better.”
 
“My Husband always loves to see A Christmas Carol prior to Christmas and this was one of the best productions we have seen over the years. The actors are exceptional, using great props to assist with telling this awesome story and there was a fabulous array of costume changes along the way. The actors included lots of audience participation and carol singing during the performance and they made the entire show enthralling and a whole lot of fun. It was nothing less than magnificent and a great way to kick off Christmas! Thank you.”
