Anton Lesser’s "A Christmas Carol"

Candlelit poster of A Christmas Carol, in words and music with Anton Lesser

Anton Lesser stars in this candlelit one-man show of Charles Dickens' Christmas classic, combining unforgettable storytelling with captivating music from Orchestra of the Swan. All of the much-loved (and feared) characters are brought to life in the atmospheric setting of Oxford's spectacular Sheldonian Theatre.

An unmissable start to the season's celebrations...for everyone!

Star of stage and screen, Anton Lesser (Endeavour, Wolf Hall, Game of Thrones, Disney's Andor) has read all of Dickens' works for audio and starred in the BBC's Dickensian.

Midlands-based Orchestra of the Swan is an innovative chamber orchestra which, under the artistic direction of David Le Page, is known for unconventional programming, ground-breaking digital concerts and willingness to blur the lines between musical genres.

Both Anton and The Swan were recently seen in Oxford with Red Sky at Sunrise: Laurie Lee in Words & Music.
