A Christmas Carol

Award-winning Australian company Shake & Stir Theatre Co is set to deliver a magical production of Charles Dickens’s timeless classic, A Christmas Carol, in Brisbane. No stranger to adapting literary masterpieces, the company has successfully staged everything from the works of Orwell, Shakespeare, Brontë, and Dahl to Green Day’s American Idiot. Alongside their successful production of Sister Act at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre, Shake & Stir is ending the year strong with the perfect story to bring in the season.

The Story

Ebenezer Scrooge spends his days in a simple fashion: he wakes up, curses the cheery people outside his window, and gets on with his work. It’s a routine he’s gotten accustomed to. Yet when one fine day, the resident town miser wakes to the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, he finds himself embarking on a journey through time and a lesson in humility and kindness he won’t soon forget.
