A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance - The Swan Hotel
The Swan Southwold, Southwold, IP18 6EG
Saturday 19th December 2026 8:00PM
A sparse stage. A single performer. And Victorian London springs to life.
Returning to The Swan in Southwold after last year's sold-out shows, this is ‘A Christmas Carol’ as Charles Dickens performed it himself, drawn directly from his original reading script. Through voice, presence and the power of Dickens’ unaltered words, a whole world unfolds - Scrooge’s chilly office, Fezziwig’s joyous party, the warmth of the Cratchit family, and the haunting visitation of the spirits. The simplicity becomes the magic: no adaptation, no modern reinterpretation — just the story as it thrilled audiences 183 years ago, brought vividly to life.
Step into the magic of Christmas as Mat Jones returns with his acclaimed one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ beloved festive classic.
