A CHRISTMAS CAROLCharles Dickens’ timeless Christmas story performed as a radio play featuring
live sound effects by a Foley Artist
Friday, 11 December 2026 – 7.30pm
Saturday, 12 December 2026 2.30pm & 7.30pm
This Christmas, surround yourself in the magical and eerie atmosphere of a very special new telling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Adapted as a radio play by actor/director Peter McCamley , this deliciously haunting tale uniquely features live sound effects seamlessly executed by Foley Artist, Terry Byrne, giving audiences the enthralling experience of listening to the ‘wireless’ while simultaneously watching the actors bring this Christmas classic to life.
Starring acclaimed Wexford playwright, actor and author, Billy Roche as Ebenezer Scrooge, this new adaptation brings Dickens’ extraordinary world to life as both a live theatrical performance and a radio drama created right before the audiences’ eyes.
Five actors, music and live sound effects transform the stage into the streets, homes and shadows of Victorian London. Audiences will not only hear Scrooge’s famous journey through Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, they will also see the sounds effects being made, the characters transform into being and the machinery of a radio drama brought vividly to life.
Alongside Billy Roche, the company features Peter Mccamley, Aileen Donohoe, Elizabeth Rose-Browne, Lauren Corish-Wallace, and foley artist Terry Byrne. Between them, the ensemble creates Dickens’ entire world of ghosts, families, revellers, children and of course, Christmas Spirits.
Produced by Ad Personam Cultural Events in collaboration with Wexford Arts Centre and South East Radio, the live performances will also form part of a special recording for broadcast on South East Radio at a later date, connecting the audience in the theatre with listeners across the South East.
Funny, atmospheric, ghostly and ultimately full of hope, this is Dickens’ Christmas classic rediscovered through the magic of live performance and the imagination of radio. Something for all ages.
