Mark Gatiss’ celebrated retelling of Dickens’ classic winter ghost story returned with a brand new cast.
It’s Christmas Eve. As the cold, bleak night draws in, the avaricious Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted by the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…
Staying true to the heart and spirit of the original novel, A Christmas Carol – a Ghost Story is filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects; are you brave enough to join us?
Star of stage and screen Keith Allen (Shallow Grave, Robin Hood BBC; Kingsman, The Golden Circle Marvel Films; The Pembrokeshire Murders ITV) led the cast as Ebenezer Scrooge and was joined by Peter Forbes (Follies) as Marley.
