We are pleased to host an adaptation of the classic tale A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, to be performed by the international drama group Black Stripe Theater (BST). This much loved and merry tale is set on the night before Christmas when a man is forced to look closely within himself and ask if his life has been of value. At the story’s center is cold and hardworking Ebenezer Scrooge and his encounter with several characters – Bob Cratchitt, Jacob Marley, three ghosts, and even Charles Dickens himself. BST has creatively reworked this tale to appeal to all audiences. Not only is this a great opportunity to see a live perjormance in English, but BST also offers you the chance to meet the actors and director in a Q & A session.
