A Christmas Carol

State Theatre, Austin

About the Show

Ebenezer Scrooge is the meanest man in London. His cashbox is as firmly locked as his heart. Until, that is, one snowbound Christmas Eve when the clocks stop, things begin to go bump in the night and Scrooge’s life is changed forever by a journey through time which is hilarious, sometimes terrifying and always magical. Adapted by Neil Bartlett, it’s Dickens’ words and nothing but. Join a super-charged ensemble of Austin’s favorite actors, ready to conjure up the Yuletide world of Victorian London. There will be carols too! Bring the kids! “Magical.” – The Observer

Neil Bartlett’s gorgeous adaptation of A Christmas Carol gives you the real music of Dickens’ language and the transcendent depth of his generosity. State Theatre is the only theater in America doing this version.
