A seasonal play reading for December

"I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!”

David Greenwood will round off our 2025 play readings with Charles Dickens' timeless classic, A Christmas Carol, brought to life in a joyous adaptation by Jack Thorne. One bitter Christmas Eve, a cold-hearted miser is visited by four ghosts. Transported to the  past, present and future, Ebenezer Scrooge witnesses what a lifetime of selfishness and greed has led to, and sees with fresh eyes the squalid life he has built for himself. Can Ebenezer be saved before it's too late? 

This adaptation of A Christmas Carol premiered at The Old Vic, London, in November 2017. It has played to sold out houses at the Old Vic every Christmas since then.

Come and enjoy some Christmas cheer at the Mill on Wednesday 3 December at 7.30pm. 

Your committee had been visited by the Ghosts of Christmas and has decided, just this once, to release the purse strings. So, there will be mince pies and mulled wine. All for free, not a penny piece to pay !

"God bless us, everyone!"
