Professional in-house Christmas show by Albany Theatre, with a new script by artistic director Alan Pollock, recommended for ages 6 and above.
A Christmas Carol opens at The Albany Theatre on Saturday 5 December, running through to Thursday 24 December with matinee and evening performances. It's the theatre's Christmas show, staged by artistic director and playwright Alan Pollock, who wrote a brand new script for this professional in-house production. Set in Dickensian London, the story follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he's transformed by the magic of Christmas and the power of three mysterious ghosts, alongside the Cratchit family.
The production is noted for objects coming to life on stage, singing and movement, and it draws on the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. It first performed at The Barn theatre, where it picked up plenty of five-star reviews, and StageTalk called it 'gloriously charming and heartwarming'. The Albany has also introduced innovative new seating that expands the stalls onto the stage itself, sold at the same price as regular stalls seating.
Mark Carey takes the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, with Robin Johnson as Bob Cratchit, Rachel Bird as Mrs Fezziwig, Rachel Winters as Belle, Fintan Hayeck as Fred and Olivia Rose Dean as Fan. The running time is about two hours.
