ABOUT THE SHOW...

In John Jakes' hands, A Christmas Carol recaptures the magic and mystique of the Dickens original.

This production goes beyond other adaptations with a unique dramatic concept: At the opening curtain, Charles Dickens himself is introduced to the audience, ready to present one of the famed platform readings of his stories that packed auditoriums in Europe and America.

Of course, the story chosen is one which he often performed: A Christmas Carol. (Dickens' marked-up script still exists!)

The story unfolds behind him, and soon Dickens is weaving in and out of the action, observing, performing small roles, interpolating short passages of rich narrative never heard in other versions. He handles props and helps Scrooge and others with costume changes.

You may know the story, but you've never seen it like this—through the eyes of Charles Dickens!
