A reimagining of Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ will run nightly at The Beacon restaurant in Tunbridge Wells from 2 December until 20 December. Entitled ‘A Cratchits’ Christmas Carol’ and presented by Get Out Of My Space (GOOMS), the play has been created by 23-year-old Tobias Cornwell and is to feature an immersive twist.

Each night, the audience will choose which of the four-strong cast is to play the part of Scrooge. Sitting in socially distanced tables of up to six people, audience members will also be served a festive three-course meal prepared by Michelin-recommended chefs. 

Having been involved in theatre since the age of 17 and having worked with Punchdrunk in London, business studies graduate Tobias spent his time on furlough finishing his retelling of A Christmas Carol. Anna Blackburn, James Alston and Kathryn Djemai make up the rest of the GOOMS team.
