Following three critically-acclaimed, sold-out seasons on stage in London’s West End, Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare in Love) brings Charles Dickens’ beloved classic A Christmas Carol to the big screen in December 2018. On Tuesday 11 December the stage-to-film adaptation, reimagined especially for cinema, will be released in 444 cinemas across the UK and Ireland by leading event cinema distributors CinemaLive.

Based on Charles Dickens’s own performance adaptation, Simon Callow and director Tom Cairns (Marie and Bruce, Amongst Women) have created a one-man cinematic extravaganza of festive storytelling that is both heart-warming and deeply moving. A Christmas Carol is produced by BBC Films, The Space and Assembly Christmas Carol Ltd.
