A Christmas Carol

Anne-Marie Duff performs an intimate reading of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic. Can the ghostly interventions salvage Scrooge’s soul?

Anne-Marie Duff takes us on a spirited journey through Victorian London with Charles Dickens’s timeless seasonal classic. Miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. But can their ghostly interventions transform Scrooge into a better man and make him fall in love with Christmas?

Filmed in Manchester, The Read is an intimate narration of the much-loved short story as the Bafta-winning actor brings to life Bob Cratchet and his loving family along with party-loving Fezziwig and the well-meaning ghouls.
