A Christmas Carol - A Radio Play Live On Stage
A Christmas Carol - A Radio Play Live On Stage comes to the Palace Theatre in Newark, Nottinghamshire. This theatrical production presents Charles Dickens' classic Christmas story as a live radio play, with actors performing as if broadcasting from a vintage radio studio and sound effects created live on stage. Families watch Colin Baker and Sophie Aldred guide Scrooge through visits from three spirits on Christmas Eve, complete with the sights and sounds of Victorian London conjured before their eyes. Tom Baker appears in a specially recorded role as Jacob Marley. The production marks the 180th anniversary of Dickens' tale of redemption and charity at Christmas. This is theatre designed for audiences who enjoy classic stories brought to life with theatrical ingenuity rather than elaborate sets.
