About A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story
This play is so good it was filmed live for cinemas during the 2021 stage run at the West End's Alexandra Palace Theatre. Adapted by the brilliant Mark Gatiss, it's back at the venue for a festive run suitable for all the family. A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story is on stage at the Alexandra Palace from 24 November to 7 January 2024, and it looks a lot like tickets will sell like hot cakes, so don't miss your chance.
What's the story of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story?
The book by Charles Dickens was originally published by Chapman and Hall in 1843, beautifully illustrated by John Leech. It has never been out of print in almost 200 years, a feat for any novel.
This is the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who's visited by the ghost of his ex-business partner Jacob Marley along with the scary spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After they've left, Scrooge is transformed into a gentler, kinder person, a story we can all appreciate. No wonder it has always been so well-loved.
This is Gatiss's retelling of Dickens' classic winter ghost story, packed with spooky special effects that are both scary and deliciously fun. The supernatural Victorian world of A Christmas Carol is on at the ideal venue, too. The Alexandra Palace Theatre was shut for decades, now it's open again in beautifully restored condition.
The Daily Telegraph calls it 'Irresistibly theatrical’. The Evening Standard says that 'in the hands of Gatiss, Dickens' festive tale banishes all thoughts of Bah Humbug!', and the Daily Express calls it 'One of the best and freshest takes of Dickens in recent years'.
