Simon Callow will reprise his role in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol at London’s Arts Theatre this winter.

The one-man show, which ran at the same venue last year, will be staged from November 29 to January 6, 2013, with press night on December 5.

The show has been described as a “tribute to the richness of Dickens’ writing and to the story’s continuing relevance to Christmases past, present and future”.

Directed and designed by Tom Cairns, the performance is produced by Assembly and Riverside Studios, with sound design by Ben and Max Ringham.
