A Christmas Carol – November 23rd 2011, 7.30pm
Charles Dickens’ family classic A Christmas Carol is set to come to Liverpool Cathedral this November.
Produced by Saltmine Theatre Company, the performance takes place on Wednesday 23rd November at 7.30pm. Perfect for all ages, the play tells the classic story of Scrooge, and what happens when he is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
Saltmine Theatre Company believes in using the power of theatre to enhance lives and has been touring professionally in theatres, schools and churches across the UK since it was established in 1985. Saltmine is being brought to Liverpool Cathedral with the help of Vikki Shacklady, a youth worker from Ormskirk. Vikki has worked with Saltmine to organize the venue and the cast, which is made up of four skilled professional actors, who use clever innovations with props and a number of fast wardrobe changes to portray a vast array of characters.
Vikki’s interest in the Dickens story, and in using the Cathedral as a venue, comes from her own experience. Vikki said, “The Cathedral has always been a very important building to me, and it has played a very significant part in my spiritual journey. Now that I am a Youth Worker, I wanted to help introduce the Cathedral to as many young people and families as possible. What better way than through a play that follows the spiritual journey of Scrooge from a man who doesn’t care for the people around him, to one who gives thanks for everything he has and goes on to do good deeds.”
