THE STORY: This theatrical and spirited version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL puts the phantasmagoric qualities of Charles Dickens' classic tale center stage. A swirling, dancing chorus of ghosts that weave through this uplifting holiday story of redemption, magic and hope. The play has been performed for almost a million people over the years at Houston's Alley Theatre, Hartford Stage and Washington, D.C.'s historic Ford's Theatre.
"
rousing, crowd-pleasing
Dickens' classic becomes particularly spooky. In addition to the ghoulish specter of Jacob Marley, and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future, this version introduces a half-dozen additional ghosts." - NY Times. "Michael Wilson's adaptation of Dicken's classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge distills the essence of the holiday spirit in a series of sights, sounds and splendors that all but guarantee audiences leave bursting with a feeling of Christmas
Everywhere, Wilson plays up the 'ghost story' aspects of Dickens' tale. It is a great gift indeed to see a faithful, loving and brilliantly imagined version of a true classic." - Hartford Courant. "If Alfred Hitchcock had done A CHRISTMAS CAROL, he'd have done it exactly like this. Wilson's high-spirited and intelligent handling of the 1843 novella is scary, delightful, dazzling, and laugh-out-loud funny." - Hartford Advocate.
