A Christmas Carol

By Robbie Gordon & Jack Nurse

A panto twist on the classic tale presented in Musselburgh and Haddington by The Brunton, in association with Wonder Fools.

Meet Scrooge, Musselburgh’s grumpiest miser and proud owner of Scrooge’s Speedy Cash, who’s in for a rude awakening when three mischievous ghosts turn up to ruin her silent night. With belly laughs, feel-good festive songs, and a hearty dose of Scottish Panto spirit, this isn’t just any Christmas tale – it’s a full-blown panto party that will leave you shouting, “Bah humbug!” all the way home.

The Brunton and Wonder Fools present this exciting new pantomime set in East Lothian, inspired by Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas story. An entertaining, warm-hearted show filled with laughter, original songs, adventure and festive fun for all ages.

Our professional cast are joined by a talented chorus of local, young performers.
