A Christmas Carol with Greg Oliver Bodine

A Christmas Carol is a solo performance of Dickens’ classic holiday tale written & performed by Greg Oliver Bodine and directed by Shana Solomon.

Charles Dickens’ 1867 American Reading Tour is off to a rough start. Due to an inexplicable loss of his luggage, he regretfully announces that he will be unable to read from his beloved classic, A Christmas Carol. All is not lost however; Dickens delivers what he promised by performing from memory the magical story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from miserliness to redemption with warmth and humor. This one-man play is based on the condensed version Dickens himself used on his historic reading tours of the United States and is adapted here to offer a unique theatrical experience. Returning to Manhattan Theatre Source for the 5th year in a row! One actor. One hour! “A most welcome Christmas present…a sincere, moving performance that set the mood for the coming holidays.” –Oyster Bay Enterprise-Pilot (NY) “A Dickens of a good show!” –Westfield Evening News (MA)
