This will be a large-scale, high profile and demanding production involving an ensemble company with puppeteering and a score adapted from classic carols and the tunes of Strauss, Prokoviev, Saint Saens, Grieg, Sullivan, Ponchielli, Bach and music hall. All roles involve singing and movement skills and a number require accomplished musicianship. We are therefore particularly interested in hearing from actors who play piano, violin, flute, cello, clarinet, trombone, tuba and euphonium.

Roles as follows.

EBENEZER SCROOGE - Male, 50+ An "old devil" whose chief desire in life is to make money, largely out of other's misery. Difficult, surly and with a ghoulish and vaudevillian nature.

SCROOGE'S NEPHEW - Male, late 20s-mid 30s, lead role. Attractive and
amiable, Scrooge's Nephew is the narrator of the piece. Ideally, we require
a strong pianist for this role although this is not an excluding necessity.

Cratchit is a diligent, hard-working and loving father to Tiny Tim.

presence.
