Can anyone tell me if the Old Vic A Christmas Carol has scary parts. I’m talking a young chap, aged 9, who hasn’t watched Paddington, the first one because one look at the Nicole Kidman character had him close down and refuse to continue. It's emotional scary too.
I would like to take him and younger bro, who is up for anything, but don’t want to spend the whole time in the corridor.

I think it would be fine. There's a "dark" character in it (how does that blooming spoiler thing work) ... My opinion .... You might want to have him and his little brother watch a Muppet Christmas Carol beforehand so he can follow the story more easily.

Would this not gather more appropriate response - and be more helpful to others wondering - in the thread pertaining to the production?

Is it a ghost? I don't think spoilers are needed, we all know the story. |

Have there been any genuinely scary plays? I’m very responsive to jump scares but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced one in a theatre. I thought Woman In Black was pretty tame.
I’m going to see The Exorcist in the autumn but from what a friend tells me I’m more likely to laugh than jump...

As someone who frequently ran into things as a child, I have quite a few scarry bits! 🙂
