This finest retelling of Charles Dickens’ novella, has become a Christmas classic. Michael Caine’s lead performance as the lovable old skinflint, is ably supported by all your furry favourite Muppet characters. The Great Gonzo in particular stands out for his narration of the story as Dickens himself.

Caine said "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company" and it shows superbly. The rousing score was composed by Miles Goodman with songs by Paul Williams. Toast the season with a glass of mulled wine and revel in the Dickensian dress code option.

Based on Rumer Godden's 1939 novel of the same name, the film is set in an old Indian palace situated high in the Himalayas where a small convent of Anglican sisters are trying to establish a school and hospital. Our multi-sensory presentation will augment the unfolding narrative and the Academy Award winning cinematography of Jack Cardiff.

This project explores the coastal areas of Scotland where industrial and natural structures have become interwoven. These areas, where life began the evolutionary journey from ocean to land, are at risk due to rising water levels. This anthropogenic impact on the coast is highlighted by the artist via photogrammetry of the emerging assemblages.
