Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was? Impossible.
So begins the real story behind Dickens' A Christmas Carol - the story of Jacob Marley's heroic behind-the-scenes efforts to save old Scrooge's soul and in the process, save his own. Aided by a malicious little hell-sprite with an agenda of his own, their hilarious journey takes them from the Jaws of Death to the Mouth of Hell - and beyond! One actor, over a dozen characters and a couple of suitcases full of who knows what; combine to take you through this darkly delicious and spirited Christmas fable!
​
Bringing more magic to the 2016 season, Craig is joined onstage by cellist, Jordan Best. Best brings haunting melodies that float and play alongside Craig's performance, underscoring the narrative beautifully.
