On Sunday (and Friday and Saturday) the Theater aan het Spui in Den Haag is showing “A Christmas Carol.” It is put on by the AATG, and it’s a panto. Ever been to one? The website proclaims:

Ding dong, Ding dong, t'is Christmas time. Oh no it isn't, Oh yes it is. Ok it's not, but at the end of January it will be again because the AATG will present their annual Christmas Panto. This time it is A CHRISTMAS CAROL –the panto. This classic story by Charles Dickens is a tale of good and evil, ghosts, men in dresses, redemption, choirs, screaming children, magic and a few custard pies for good measure.

So come one, come all to boo at the baddies and cheer for the goodies. Will Scrooge find redemption? Will Bob Crattchet get a pay rise? Is that a bloke in a dress? Where did I leave my car? To find out the answers to at least some of these questions come to the panto.

Tickets are EUR15 for adults, EUR10 for those under 16 and over 65. If you can manage to get a group of 10 together at this late date the tickets are cheaper (EUR13).
