A Christmas Carol

This Christmas, the haunting returns. Following a critically acclaimed 2023 run, Mark Gatiss’ spine-chilling retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story once again takes over Alexandra Palace Theatre in 2025. Neil Morrissey, beloved for Men Behaving Badly and Waterloo Road, will appear as Jacob Marley, and Matthew Cottle (Bridgerton and The Windsors), reprises his role as Scrooge.

Frozen in time with its beautifully preserved features, the atmospheric Alexandra Palace Theatre is the perfect setting for Dickens’ most enduring Christmas tale. With eerie Victorian special effects and spine-tingling storytelling, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural world of A Christmas Carol.

It’s Christmas Eve, and the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge receives a chilling visit from the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains for a lifetime of greed, Marley warns Scrooge it isn’t too late to change his fate, but only if he survives three more ghostly encounters…
