About Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story

★★★★
“In the hands of Gatiss, Dickens’s festive tale banishes all thoughts of ‘bah, humbug’”

Evening Standard

Marley was dead: to begin with.

Following a critically acclaimed run in 2023, Mark Gatiss’ retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story returns to haunt Alexandra Palace Theatre again in 2025.

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…

Frozen in time with beautifully preserved original features, our wonderfully atmospheric Theatre provides the perfect setting for audiences to enjoy one of the most famous and beloved Christmas stories ever told. Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

★★★★
“A spooky twist on the Dickens classic.”
