A Christmas Carol - Panto in Musselburgh
The Brunton and Wonder Fools present this exciting new pantomime set in East Lothian and inspired by Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas story.
About A Christmas Carol - Panto in Musselburgh
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.
We are thrilled to be working with Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse (Co-Artistic Directors of critically acclaimed Wonder Fools theatre company) who are writing and making our pantomime.
Robbie and Jack founded Wonder Fools on the belief that high-quality arts experiences should be for everyone, and they have taken their productions across the UK ever since, from Scotland’s main producing houses to town halls. They specialise in co-creation and centring communities in their work.
“One of the most vibrant young companies to emerge onto the scene in recent years” The Scotsman
