INFORMATION

For the second year running STET is bringing over English Master story teller and actor Ashley Ramsden, to get that real Christmas feel ......

Ashley Ramsden takes centre stage, portraying all 23 characters in the Dickens classic, each with vivid and distinctive clarity. The program embraces the original masterpiece, transporting audiences back to Victorian England and conjuring up the sinister back alleys, cobblestone streets, and ghostly apparitions that are the story’s hallmarks.

A Christmas Carol is profoundly relevant today. The gulf between wealthy and poor, the powerful and powerless, is as significant now as it was in Dickensian England. A Christmas Carol is a banner of compassion carried by its main character, Scrooge, as he is transformed by his sense of common decency and obligation to humanity.”

Performances take place in one of the oldest and most anthentic almshouses of The Hague The Hofje van Wouw. Warm drinks will be served before the performance in the festively garden of the Hesperides. There will be a special stall with lots of home (Hof) made presents and produce on sale; proceeds of this stall will go towards the Hofje van Wouw Foundation

It is STET policy to provide – whenever possible – performances at schools and/or have special rates for schools to attend. As we believe that a good preparation is essential we have developed this year a special teacher’s pack. Five schools from all over the Netherlands will have the opportunity to see this lovely show. For more information contact STET.
