Marley was dead: to begin with.
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…

Just call us the ghost of Christmas presents, because do we have a gift for you! Yes, we have *just* entered September, but we’ve already spied boxes of charity cards sporting robins and snowmen, and have seen (okay bought all the) Quality Street tins line the shops shelves, so it’s basically Christmas now, right? …Right? The holiday months have always been our favourite time of year, and with today’s announcement, it may now just be yours too!
It has today been confirmed that Keith Allen (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Robin Hood) and Peter Forbes (Follies) will be haunting Alexandra Palace in Mark Gatiss’ adaptation of A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story.
