AS of today (Thursday), tickets for the latest production by the Courtenay Players are on sale.

The amateur dramatic society presents 'Humbug', a musical version of the much loved Charles Dickens story 'A Christmas Carol', at the Charter Hall in January. The story has been adapted for the production by Tony Edwards.

Written in a similar fashion to a pantomime, the story follows Ebenezer Scrooge on his road to redemption with lively music, dance numbers, and a witty script.

The production is the last for long-standing director Roger Partridge, who has a cast of 60 performing in the production from January 9 to 14.

Tickets for the performances, which start at 7.30pm each night, cost £6 for adults and £4 for children to include tea or coffee.

They are available now from the Fairplace Church shop in the Arcade.
