A Christmas Carol at HOME Manchester: ghostly one-man show, December 2026
Adam Z. Robinson's ghostly solo version of A Christmas Carol is at HOME Manchester from 9 to 12 December 2026. Times, 10+ age guidance and booking.
When and where
For older children and grown-ups who like their Christmas with a few shivers, A Christmas Carol is at HOME Manchester from Wednesday 9 to Saturday 12 December 2026, at 7.45pm each night.
This one is a solo show. Adam Z. Robinson, of The Book of Darkness & Light, adapted Dickens' story himself and plays all 28 characters, with eerie recorded voices and a soundscape doing the rest. It leans into the gothic side of the story: Marley's ghost, the spirits of Christmas past, present and yet to come, and Scrooge's very bad night.
HOME describes it as being like gathering round a fireside to hear the story told, by turns hair-raising and heartwarming.
Good to know
There are mild jumpy moments, a ghostly atmosphere, mild horror themes and haze. It's one for the older ones rather than little ones, which is why HOME recommends 10+.
