A powerful one-man tour de force, delivering Dickens’ timeless tale with heart, humour, and unforgettable clarity.

Experience the magic of Charles Dickens’ classic tale as you’ve never seen it before. One Christmas Carol is a spellbinding one-man tour de force, where actor Gwithian Evans brings over 35 characters to life onstage in a masterful display of storytelling, passion, and precision.

From Ebenezer Scrooge to Tiny Tim, Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchitt, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, each character emerges vividly without a single costume change or elaborate set. Evans guides us on a deeply moving journey through themes of greed, regret, compassion, and ultimately—redemption.

This stripped-back, high-impact production dispenses with holiday excess in favour of something far more meaningful: the enduring heart of the story. With nothing to distract, the spotlight falls firmly on the message that has inspired generations.

Gwithian Evans is a local actor who has performed at the Vera Fletcher Hall in the past and whose recent credits include playing Christopher Wren in The Mousetrap in the West End and the role of Tristan in Lucy Prebble’s The Effect at the English Theatre in Vienna.
