Experience Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL
the way it was intended.
From 1853 to 1870, Dickens gave public readings of his story, touring America and Great Britain — even going so far as to develop the characters and voices for his performances. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a classic story that is meant to be heard and performed in front of audiences of all ages.
This adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL stays true to that original intention. Entirely Dickens’ text, the play is woven throughout with live music as an actor (and his trusty musician) brings all of the characters to life in vivid detail. A story of redemption and the power of the holiday spirit, it is also a celebration of the theatre, where virtuosic acting and a commitment to the power of storytelling brings us all closer together — and to the Christmas spirit in all of us.
