| | This one-man adaptation is inspired from a desire to bring a new dimension to Dickens’ familiar story. Wih only one actor on stage, embodying every character the result is the creation of a more intimate and direct connection with the audience.
The idea of a single actor portraying multiple characters is not new to the theater, but execution of A Concise Christmas Carol elevates this concept with a grip on our hearts and imaginations almost defying description.
In our time of fleeting trends and decreasing attention spans, the Dicken's Christmas Carol is a story of enduring appeal to our imaginations of the fog, the cold, the parties, the sense of place and of course the relatability of these characters. Above all it is the story’s themes of redemption and the healing power of love and human connection that we come back to year after year. | Buy Tickets |
