it’s that time of year again, and Anthony Roberts, Director of Colchester Arts Centre, is back with his much-loved performance of A Christmas Carol. Ant’s retelling of Dickens’ classic is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Why You’ll Love It

Ant has a way of drawing you right into the story; every moment feels like a little slice of Christmas magic. For me, Christmas can begin once I’ve seen his version of A Christmas Carol.
