Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol
, Miami
Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol is, of course, spun off from Charles Dickens’ beloved ghostly tale. In this marvelous theatrical retelling, the redemption story shifts from mean, old Ebenezer Scrooge to his frenemy, the long-dead, hilariously bitter, chains-rattling ghost Jacob Marley.
Jacob Marley’s miserable afterlife has been stretching on forever when, on Christmas Eve, he earns a chance to change his fate — if he can change the unrepentant Ebenezer Scrooge! Like the desperate apparition he is, Marley drags a terrified Scrooge from his bed into his worst nightmare as the two journey into the past, present and future.
Audiences will delight in the surprising twists and turns of the storytelling, and the inspired tour de force of Colin McPhillamy magically transforming into 18 roles.
