Wilton’s Music Hall has announced its Autumn season, welcoming some of the UK’s most prestigious theatre companies into the wonderfully intimate surroundings of the oldest working music hall in the world.
Christmas at Wilton’s has become somewhat of a London institution, and this year is no different as Scrooge takes up residence on stage, with a twist. Christmas Carol – a fairy tale (29 November-4 January) is a reimagining of the Dickens classic, written especially for Wilton’s by award-winning author Piers Torday, and directed by Stephanie Street and designed by Tom Piper.
Ebenezer Scrooge is dead, but his sister Fan married Marley and, as his widow, has now inherited his business. Fan Scrooge rapidly becomes notorious as the most monstrous miser in London. Seven years later on Christmas Eve, Fan is haunted by three spirits. Brought to you by the team behind the acclaimed The Box of Delights, expect spellbinding magic, haunting music and masterful puppets, all set in the uniquely Dickensian atmosphere of Wilton’s.
Prior to Christmas, Wilton’s will host the darkly funny musical-cum-folk-tale-cum-gig experience Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story (18-28 September), exploring how love can be found even in the darkest of times. This Klezmer folk music-theatre hybrid, winner of a Scotsman Fringe First and Herald Angel Award, is inspired by the true stories of two Jewish Romanian refugees who emigrate to Canada in 1908 and is quite simply beautiful, unmissable theatre at its finest.
Get ready for a season of world premiere productions, reimaginings of classics and brand-new theatre pieces, all taking place in the stunningly atmospheric Wilton’s Music Hall. Check out the full season line up https://www.wiltons.org.uk
