A Cardiff Christmas Carol

The classic Dicken's seasonal story, updated for modern Cardiff. Will Scrooge find his heart? Will Tiny Tim get his Christmas dinner? This new version of A Christmas Carol is directed by Cata Lindegaard, with a collaborative script produced by people who have experienced homelessness and pulled together by playwright Owen Thomas. The show features twelve amateur actors from Swansea, Cardiff, Bridgend and Newport, all with lived experience of homelessness and related social issues. Performing alongside will be professional actor Charlie McCollom-Cartwright in the role of Scrooge. Chorus by the Choir with No Name. We look forward to welcoming you to the chaotic and unconventional world of A Cardiff Christmas Carol at Porters! This project has been made possible through Arts Council of Wales funding. All ticket proceeds will go to The Wallich homelessness charity.

The Wallich supports more than 7,000 people a year who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. Winter can be an especially difficult time for people experiencing homelessness. Colder weather, shorter days and the pressures of the festive period can make an already difficult situation even harder.
