A Jersey-born actor is set to return to the role of Scrooge in an interactive production combining a two-course Christmas feast with interactive theatre, traditional games and festive songs.
A Christmas Carol is returning to Jersey after its on-island debut two years ago, and promises to be "even more spectacular" than before.
A review of the previous production describes the show "an interactive, story-driven, culinary adventure".

A Christmas Carol is directed by Adam Flynn and Jack Whitam, and produced by London Limelight.
Mr Flynn said: “We are delighted to be bringing this professional production back to Jersey, to spread some delicious Christmas cheer on our home turf.
"We have significantly upscaled and improved the production since 2021, including re-writing sections to make it even more spectacular, and as a local production company we are thrilled that Jersey audiences get to see it first!
"It will be the grandest production in this show’s 12-year history, and we can’t wait to share it with the Jersey crowds before we reopen in the UK next year.”

Ticket prices start at £48, with meal included.
