Award-winning solo theatre company Dyad Productions brings Dickens' classic ghost story to life with Andrew Margerison playing every character.
Dyad Productions bring A Christmas Carol to the Taliesin Arts Centre in Swansea on Thursday 3 December and Friday 4 December, both nights starting at 7:30pm. It's Dickens' classic ghost story, but told as a solo show: Andrew Margerison takes on every character himself, from the sorrowful Cratchit to the jubilant Fezziwig, switching between them as the story unfolds.
Dyad Productions are an award-winning solo-theatre company, and this is their take on the story, directed by Rebecca Vaughan. They've built the production around Dickens' own legendary public readings of his work, and it was created in collaboration with the Old Town Hall in Hemel Hempstead. If you've seen their other solo work, you'll recognise the house style they're bringing to this one.
It's a company with a long list of solo plays behind them. Before this, they've staged That Knave, Raleigh, Lady Susan, A Room of One's Own, Christmas Gothic, I, Elizabeth, Austen's Women and Female Gothic. The critics have been on board too: the British Theatre Guide called their work 'intelligently adapted, beautifully performed', The Scotsman described it as 'a towering performance', and Three Weeks used 'outstanding... gripping... magnetic'.
