Experience a spine-tingling Christmas with Mark Gatiss' A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story!
Following a phenomenally successful run in 2021, Mark Gatiss’ retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story returns to the hauntingly atmospheric Alexandra Palace Theatre. Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of A Christmas Carol.
It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from 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…

Good Performance
I had seen many interpretations of A Christmas Carol but never on the stage. The Old theatre at Alexandra Palace was the ideal setting providing a Victorian, eerie, feel to the production. The staging was very clever and the use of minimal modern effects made it all the more enjoyable. The actual high point for me was the rendition of 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' which made me feel that Christmas really was upon us. We had good seats in the circle and the raking allowed a clear view of all the action. The only reason I did not give 5 Stars was two fold, first: There appeared to be some confusion when seating other customers and this delayed the start slightly. My second reason was; If you haven't read/seen the story before then it could be a bit difficult at some times to know what was going on. However, this did not affect us, or our afternoon, and we had a very enjoyable time, it was a great way to start Christmas.
