Bah Humbug! A panto based on A Christmas Carol
We have a panto - oh yes we have !
We are excited to bring our panto to care settings, schools, clubs and organisations throughout the East of England in November and December.
We have kept many of the important elements of this Dickens classic whilst making it accessible for an audience with the larger than life characters, plenty of audience participation, songs and lots of comedy and fun. We finish off the performance with a Christmas carol sing-a-long.
We are a company keen to bring the live arts to people and we are aware that panto performances are often a way for children to discover the wonder of live theatrical experiences for the first time.
Why this panto for care settings?
Because it is a story that care home residents will have grown up with, and can relate to the story of silly ol' Scrooge.
Why A Christmas Carol for schools ?
We have chosen A Christmas Carol because it is a wonderful story full of rich characters, themes relevant today and an underlying moral that people can choose to be good and do good things for others.
A Christmas Carol is a set text in GCSE and for many children the earlier they are introduced to this story it will help them start to know the story which might help them later recognise the names of the characters and keep the story accessible for them.
We can also provide a free teachers pack and drama workshop for schools.
What we need from you :
We will bring a very simple set up to define the stage area. We will need access to power points for our sound system and we may or may not use microphones depending on the size of the hall/audience.
We need a performance space of at least 6ft by 6ft.
If you have someone that uses a BSL translator we can provide for them the script in advance.
