For nearly two centuries, A Christmas Carol has been retold as a story of redemption and charity. But hidden within is Tiny Tim – a disabled child too often reduced to a symbol of pity and inspiration.

That’s the problem. Disabled characters are frequently written as lessons, used as a tool to comfort audiences. Enter Uncurbed Collective - with a new Tim, who refuses to be “Tiny”. 

Bold, funny, and unapologetic, Tiny Tim -  written by James Varney (The Writing Squad) with the Uncurbed Collective Ensemble - challenges tradition and dares to change the narrative.
 

Uncurbed Collective is a disabled-led company making bold, unapologetic work that challenges "the accepted" and redefines what theatre can be.

We weave accessibility throughout the Tiny Tim story, here’s what to expect:

Makaton-incorporated: Key signs are used to help convey character emotions and story moments.
Creative captioning: Dialogue, narrator lines, and important sounds are captioned.
Audio description: Key visual elements, mood, and atmosphere are described by narrators.
