Anton Lesser stars in this candlelit one-man show of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic, combining unforgettable storytelling with captivating music from Orchestra of the Swan.
All of the much-loved (and feared) characters are brought to life in the atmospheric setting of Oxford’s Sheldonian Theatre.
An unmissable start to the season’s celebrations for everyone!
Star of stage and screen, Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, Endeavour, Game of Thrones, Disney’s Andor) has read all of Dickens’ works for audio and starred in the BBC’s Dickensian.
Music Director David Le Page
Narrator Anton Lesser
Orchestra of the Swan is an innovative British chamber orchestra which, under the artistic direction of David Le Page, is known for its unconventional programming, groundbreaking concert films and willingness to blur the lines between musical genres. Its critically acclaimed mixtape albums - Timelapse, Labyrinths and Echoes - have gained more than 13 million streams worldwide and include imaginative new arrangements of music by David Bowie, The Smiths, Brian Eno, The Velvet Underground, Radiohead, Joy Division, Frank Zappa and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. The orchestra regularly works with artists from the worlds of folk, rock, jazz, tango and klezmer recognising that the traditional barriers between musical styles are increasingly irrelevant. Our latest album Earthcycle highlights the issue of climate change and features a new version of The Four Seasons by Jazz/Baroque composer David Gordon and traditional folk songs performed by Jackie Oates.
