A Christmas Carol
by Patrick Barlow, based on the Story by Charles Dickens
directed by Lexi von Hoffmann
The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come have been asked to accomplish the seemingly impossible: to teach bitter, stingy Ebenezer Scrooge the importance of benevolence and human connection. Nothing could be further from Scrooge’s mind, though — the man despises joyous festivities and spending any money — especially at Christmas. Donating to the poor? Not for him. Giving his overworked clerk Bob Cratchit a day off? Only begrudgingly. However, the three ghosts have a few tricks up their sleeves…
In this inventive and humorous adaption of Charles Dickens’ famous tale of redemption, audiences are whisked off to Victorian England by only a handful of actors who bring to life the many beloved characters.
