Charles Dickens’ Christmas Classic - on stage at Peterborough Cathedral
You can be swept back in time nearly two centuries to the world of Scrooge’s London at Peterborough Cathedral next week.
For their first national tour, Operation Moonlight are delighted to be bringing A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption – to the stage in authentic, dazzling style.
Christmas Eve, 1843. The miserly and cold-hearted moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge embarks upon a magical journey through his past, present, and future, learning along the way to appreciate the true meaning of Christmas.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, Operation Moonlight’s dynamic staging of Dickens’ immortal classic is packed full of festive cheer and is an ideal antidote to a cold winter evening.
With dazzling musical sequences and authentic period costuming, this production promises to be the perfect accompaniment to the festive season.

The production honours the beautifully crafted storytelling of the original script in a faithful adaptation of one of the world’s most moving Christmas classics. The team of seven incredible actors and countless creative artists will transport you back to Dickensian London for an uplifting journey of hope and redemption!
“Beyond the magic, Dickens explores something deeply human: how we are each shaped by our past, defined by our present choices, and guided by the possibilities of our future,” says Beck Gadsby, Director.
"As Laura Turner’s adaptation reminds us, ‘time waits for no man,’ and Scrooge must learn to act now if he is to change what lies ahead.”
A Christmas Carol is playing at Peterborough Cathedral on 15th and 16th December. All performances are at 7:30 pm and tickets are priced from £18 for Adults and £14 for Children.
