An epic, musical adaptation of Dickens's cautionary Christmas tale. Finney is great as old Ebeneezer, visited by the ghosts of christmas past, present and future and shown the error of his miserly ways. Stock up on mulled wine. Thank you very much... find out more...

Peter Brook's adaptation of the John Gay opera follows the story of roguish highwayman Captain MacHeath as he awaits his seemingly inevitable trip to the gallows. It is only the Captain's studious use of a file that provides him with the opportunity of escape, but as the highwayman prepares to flee, a beggar who has written an opera of the great man's exploits waylays him.
