Charles Dickens’ Christmas Classic to appear on stage at the Pavilion Arts Centre, Buxton

For their first national tour, Operation Moonlight are delighted to be bringing Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption to the stage in authentic, dazzling style.

Christmas Eve, 1843. The miserly and cold-hearted moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge embarks upon a magical journey through his past, present, and future, learning along the way to appreciate the true meaning of Christmas. Perfect for audiences of all ages, Operation Moonlight’s dynamic staging of Dickens’ immortal classic is packed full of festive cheer and is an ideal antidote to a cold winter evening.

Operation Moonlight is an experienced team of artists and creative professionals, brought together by the common aim of bringing high quality theatre to communities across the UK. Founded in 2025, their ethos is producing sustainable, exciting theatre with a big heart.

“Beyond the magic, Dickens explores something deeply human: how we are each shaped by our past, defined by our present choices, and guided by the possibilities of our future. As Laura Turner’s adaptation reminds us, “time waits for no man,” and Scrooge must learn to act now if he is to change what lies ahead.” – Beck Gadsby, Director.
