A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story at Alexandra Palace Theatre

Experience a Christmas like no other with A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story, Mark Gatiss’s haunting and masterfully atmospheric retelling of Charles Dickens’ beloved classic.

Returning to the eerie and enchanting Alexandra Palace Theatre, this production transforms the timeless tale of redemption into a chilling ghost story that’s as thrilling as it is heartwarming.

On a frozen Christmas Eve, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge receives a shocking visit from the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Bound in chains for eternity, Marley warns Scrooge of his grim fate unless he changes his ways. What follows is a night of supernatural encounters with the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come — a journey that’s as spine-tingling as it is redemptive.

Expect haunting visuals, immersive sound design, and Dickensian flair that captures both the horror and the hope at the heart of this classic story.
