Adapted by Greg Oliver Bodine
From the novella by Charles Dickens
Directed by Leda Hoffmann
One storyteller. Infinite Christmas spirits.
Before there were ghosts onstage, there was Charles Dickens—alone in the light, performing his story from memory.
When a lost script threatens to derail his 1867 American reading tour, Dickens does what every great storyteller must: he carries on. Out of that moment comes a performance that captures the very soul of the season.
This November, the light Dickens carried across the Atlantic shines again at the Blackfriars Playhouse as Angela Iannone—an ASC favorite who recently ruled the stage as King Lear—takes it up in turn. In this one-performer adaptation by Greg Oliver Bodine, directed by Leda Hoffmann, every voice, every laugh, every spirit springs from a single storyteller in an evening that’s intimate, inventive, and alive in the moment.
Step into the warmth of the Playhouse and experience A Christmas Carol as audiences first did—told by heart, in shared light, and full of humanity.
A special limited engagement.
Ages 7+.
