"Now our story has begun
We draw you from your ale and rum
To our world, we invite you back
To Edward Scrook and his heart so black…"
Join Rosie and the Rocket Box Carollers on Christmas Eve as they visit avaricious old Uncle Edward. But this won’t quite be the Christmas Eve he was expecting. As the clock strikes midnight, a visitor arrives to warn Edward of what awaits him on the other side…
Rocket Box Theatre Presents: A Christmas Carol, a binaural audio retelling the Dickens' classic – the festive installment in their Rocket Bytes Season of audio theatre.
Carols, ghost stories, a pantomime Dame and even Daisy the Cow…
