About A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story

Marley was dead, or so Scrooge thought. The mean-spirited moneylender plans to spend his Christmas as he always does: working and collecting debts. But when the ghost of his old partner appears on Christmas Eve night with a stark warning, Scrooge’s life changes forever. As three more ghosts usher him on a haunting journey, the most famous miser of them all realises that it isn’t too late to change his ways…

After a hugely successful run in 2021, writer and actor Mark Gatiss’ version of Charles Dickens’ ghost story returns to Alexandra Palace. Gatiss’ love of all things Victorian and supernatural makes this a startling watch with spine-tingling effects, whilst also reveling in the pure delight of Christmas.
