Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens’ classic tale of greed redeemed into hope, kindness, and love is now told from a very unusual point-of-view in “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol,” a charming seasonal classic with a signature Shadowland twist! Find out just what happened to Scrooge’s wicked business partner as he takes his own theatrical voyage, with an imaginative cast of actors creating a wintery, magical world. Brought to life with a soundscape of music and foley live on stage, this immortal tale stands out from the crowd as an epic journey that the whole family can enjoy.
“Marley was dead, to begin with…” And what happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work. Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his own chains, he must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley—in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story—discovers his own.
“Delectably zany… gives the audience cause to ache, and to laugh, and in the end, to exalt.”
