This retelling of Dickens’ classic winter ghost story is 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.
On a frigid Christmas Eve miserly and miserable Ebenezer Scrooge isshocked by an unexpected visit from the apparition of his long dead former business partner Jacob Marley. Wrapped in chains for the rest of eternity as his punishment for a lifetime of greed, the ghostly figure implores Scrooge to change his mean-spirited and penny pinching ways if he has any hope of escaping the same fate. But before that can happen he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

What an amazing show, it really showed us Dickensian London, complete with sound effects of the wind and then snow. Fabulous! The Alexandra Palace is a wonderful venue to behold. We had not visited it before and plan to return in the summer. The café near the lake was not able to serve food which was a shame as there were a lot of people looking for something hot to eat or drink on Christmas Eve.
This play was absolutely fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was perfect in the Alexandra Palace Theatre. A perfect afternoon.
Had brilliant seats, very atmospheric and actor’s were amazing as were special affects, a really great evening.
