A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens, adapted by Spike Marshalldirected by Spike Marshall
Various Times • Wednesday 10th – Saturday 13th December 2025
Some details of this production are still to be confirmed

When Jacob Marley returns from the grave, he brings a warning: his former business partner Ebenezer Scrooge is heading for a fate worse than death itself. Armed with rattling chains and desperate determination, Marley enlists three extraordinary allies in his mission of salvation.

Enter the Spirits of Christmas: a fierce Viking Shamaness channelling ancient Yule magic, a mischievous Germanic princess with gallows wit and boundless energy, and a terrifying wraith wrapped in festive red and sleigh bells.

But can these supernatural forces crack open the armoured heart of a man who has spent decades perfecting the art of isolation? In this bold new adaptation, Scrooge’s transformation becomes a psychological battleground where past trauma, present loneliness, and future dread collide.

Will Christmas morning bring redemption... or has Scrooge’s heart frozen beyond all hope of thaw?

Join us around Leeds this December to discover if some spirits can indeed be saved.

1984
by George Orwell, adapted by Matthew Dunsterdirected by Sophie Clement
Various Times • Wednesday 29th April – Saturday 2nd May 2026

Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.

Winston faithfully rewrites history for the Ministry of Truth, fearful that any day his hidden resentment will be revealed. He embarks down a road of quiet disobedience, discovering kindred spirits along the way, knowing that the only way to live is to accept that he is already dead.

Delve into Winston’s mind as he navigates the complexities of a dystopian Britain, where the government decides what is real and Big Brother is always watching.

George Orwell’s 1984, adapted by Matthew Dunster, is a faithful and enthralling adaptation that brings the heart of the challenges and warnings raised by the original work to life.

Tickets for 1984 are not currently on sale, but will be available through the Leeds Ticket Hub and the Carriageworks Box Office nearer to the production dates. Keep an eye on this site, or at www.carriageworkstheatre.co.uk for details of availability.
