Mark Gatiss‘ acclaimed retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story visits The Rep this Christmas, starring Matthew Cottle as Scrooge and Rufus Hound as Jacob Marley.
Irresistibly theatrical! Mark Gatiss’s fabulous take on Dickens.”
★★★★★ Daily Telegraph
It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…
In the hands of Gatiss, Dickens’ festive tale banishes all thoughts of ‘bah, humbug’.”
★★★★ Evening Standard
Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story.
A spooky twist on the Dickens classic.”
