Through time jumps\, we witness Scrooge’s past\, explore the present around him\, and confront the shocking future that awaits. \n\n\n\nAll the beloved characters are present\, with a unique twist that delves into the parliamentary reports of the 1840s on issues like abolishing rotten boroughs and establishing workhouses\, highlighting Dickens’ keen awareness of societal issues. \n\n\n\nDirected by the talented Susi Dalton\, this clever and engaging adaptation is brought to life on the Unicorn stage by Abingdon Drama Club. Edgar has reinvented this quintessentially Victorian story\, featuring Dickens himself (Terry Atkinson) narrating alongside his editor and friend\, John Forster (Kieran Madden). \n\n\n\nThe play opens with Dickens grappling to write another book on poverty and child labour\, as Forster suggests this may be too grim for a Christmas audience. Together\, they construct the narrative before our eyes\, offering a fascinating insight into Dickens’ creative process. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this enchanting performance\, marking the final production in ADC’s 80th Anniversary year! \n\n\n\n“I love exploring different interpretations of well-known classics. I previously directed another unique version of A Christmas Carol\, and I chose David Edgar’s adaptation to embrace new challenges and enrich the original story we all cherish.” \n\n\n\n“I’m excited to direct this version with our wonderful actors\, confident that together we will create a memorable production for Abingdon Drama Club.” —Susi Dalton \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Standard price – £12.00\,Concessions – £10.00 (65+\, under 19\, students\, ADC/ODN members\, Group bookings of 10+ tickets) \n\n\n\n\nFor groups of 10 and over\, simply select the concession rate tickets and choose the required number of thickets.\n\n\n\nAll tickets are sold as UNRESERVED SEATING.\n\n\n\nThe Front of House team will do their very best to seat people together\, but please arrive in good time\, or this may not be possible.\n\n\n\nTickets are also available from The Bookstore\, The Abingdon Precinct\, 15 Bury Street\, Abingdon.\n\n\n\n\nDates & times:Wednesday 27 November at 7.30pmThursday 28 November at 7.30pmFriday 29 November at 7.30pmSaturday 30 November at 2.30pm and 7.30pm URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/a-christmas-carol-by-abingdon-drama-club/ LOCATION:Unicorn Theatre\, Abingdon\, Checker Walk\, Abingdon-on-Thames\, OX14 3HZ CATEGORIES:Plays ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/a-christmas-carol-abingdon-drama-club-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.6701031;-1.2794783 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Unicorn Theatre Abingdon Checker Walk Abingdon-on-Thames OX14 3HZ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Checker Walk:geo:-1.2794783,51.6701031 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241127T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241127T183000 DTSTAMP:20260418T180030 CREATED:20241126T011235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250802T084817Z UID:10009715-1732732200-1732732200@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Skinny Lister DESCRIPTION:Skinny Lister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Skinny Lister\n\n\n\nA Skinny Lister gig is the stuff of legend\, full of style and stomp\, bringing together all their influences\, from ska to rock and from folk-punk to traditional shanty. \n\n\n\nOnto their sixth studio album\, their trademark shanty punk style is front and centre\, with songs telling tales of live shows and travelling on the road. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:£22.60 \n\n\n\nA handling fee of up to £3.25 may be added to each order. \n\n\n\nDate & time:Wednesday 27 November 2024 at 6.30pm. \n\n\n\nAge guidance:No under 8s.Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult over 18 at all times.Under 25s require ID to purchase alcohol.No smoking. \n\n\n\nCurfew:10.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation:O2 Academy2 \n\n\n\nTicket limits:There is a ticket limit of 4 tickets per person and per credit card for this event.

Poulenc’s trio\, his first major chamber work\, is noted for its depth of feeling\, with touches of Mozartian flavour and echoes of other composers’ styles yet retaining its youthful verve. \n\n\n\nKieron-Connor Valentine and André Bertoncini\, prize-winners in the 2023 Bampton Young Singers’ Competition\, join with songs and arias by the same composers as well as a foray into some contrasting light music\, including some Welsh songs. \n\n\n\nPoulenc: Trio for oboe\, bassoon and piano \n\n\n\nMozart: Arias from Mitridate\, re di Ponto:‘Son Reo L’error Confesso’‘Gia dagli occhi il velo e tolto’ \n\n\n\nRhys Jones: Cilfan y coedT Osborne Roberts: Y Gwanwyn Du \n\n\n\nAlain Boublil/Claude-Michel Schoenberg: I Dreamed a Dream (from ‘Les Misérables’) \n\n\n\nJake Heggie/Frederica von Stade: Paper Wings: A Route to the Sky \n\n\n\nINTERVAL \n\n\n\nPoulenc: Hotel \n\n\n\nAmanda McBroom: Calon Lan / The Rose \n\n\n\nCharlie Chaplin: Smile (from ‘Modern Times’) \n\n\n\nIrving Berlin: White Christmas \n\n\n\nW A Mozart: Quintet in E flat major for piano and wind \n\n\n\n(programme order may change) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:Standard ticktets – £20.00Under 18s tickets – £10.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are available from the Box Office at 01993 851142 or online URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/bampton-classical-operas-annual-st-beornwalds-tide-concert-a-musical-celebration/ LOCATION:St Mary’s Church\, Bampton\, Church View\, Bampton\, Witney\, OX18 2LZ CATEGORIES:Opera ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/kieron-connor-valentine-accompanist-andre-bertoncini-photo-credit-sisi-burn-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7274737;-1.5481 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St Mary’s Church Bampton Church View Bampton Witney OX18 2LZ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Church View\, Bampton:geo:-1.5481,51.7274737 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
