A Christmas Carol

Year after year families are making The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival’s production of A Christmas Carol part of their holiday tradition. Charles Dickens’ enduring fable of conversion and rebirth graces the stage accompanied by music, carols, and the passionate performances of the Festival’s Acting Company. It’s a production that brings audiences directly into London’s 18th century, as Ebenezer Scrooge, the wealthy but stingy businessman learns lessons of love and joy, generosity and forgiveness, mortality and immortality, against the background of the Industrial Revolution.
