About the event
‘A Calamitous Christmas Carol’ by Clare Smith, is full of Dickensian storytelling mixed with hilarious, chaotic comedy, from misbehaving fire alarms to runaway horses, missing props and a cast who are doing their very best under increasingly ridiculous circumstances - Christmas Carol….. but not quite as Dickens intended!
Despite concussions, costume disasters and a door that simply refuses to stay shut, the heart of Dickens’ classic shines through. Audiences can expect warmth, lots of humour, and a festive performance bursting with Otley charm.
Performance dates are:
Friday 11th December, 7pm Doors 6pm
Tickets are adults: £13, children £10, or a family ticket (2 adults + 2 children) is £37 (All prices include small booking fee).
