INFORMATION

Yes, when does a tradition start .... ? Back by popular demand and to our
great pleasure, Ashley Ramsden returns for the third time from
Great Britain to perform the famous story A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
The performance takes place in Theatre Concordia, built in the aftermath of Dickens’ live. Ramsden feels very much at home in these historical
surroundings. He performs the story single handed and it shows his
formidable talents as a story-teller and actor. 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. In the past two years the
audience, Dutch and non-Dutch alike, listened mesmerized to the story
that is still relevant today in a world where there is a gulf in the distribution
of wealth, influence and knowledge.

Hof van Gouw

Before the show the audience is invited to the 17th century almshouse
The Hofje van Wouw dressed in Christmas attire, to have a glass of mulled wine, coffee or tea (entrance Brouwersgracht 30).  Information and special Hof-made presents and produce are for sale. Proceeds go to the Hofje van Wouw Charity. To see the performance one crosses over the Hoge Zand to go to
Theatre Concordia.

This production is supported by the Municipality of The Hague.   logo Den Haag
