In late November Londoners will be invited to step back in time to a Christmas fair on the street outside Ebenezer Scrooge's counting house.

Characters from a range of Dicken's novels will fill the street with their stories.
In a live adventure game meets real world Christmas market, guests will be able to play games with Mrs Cratchitt, pick a pocket with Fagin, and hunt down the mysterious ghostly figures that have been haunting Mr Scrooge.
This adventure will take place out in the open on a London street, meaning the general public will be coming and going (not a ticketed event). All cast must be comfortable interacting with the general public, but also good at sensing who is 'up for it' and who just wants to watch from afar.

Audition process: Self tape and possibly a phone call to chat it all through
Rehearsals will be minimal, consisting of some zoom calls, and a half day on site dress rehearsal.
Actors must be available for all days 23rd -28th of November

Please Note:
• This performance is outdoors with no electronic amplification
• Performers will need to be able to improvise and interact with members of the general public
• Performers will need the right to work in the UK
