| "Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that." A CHRISTMAS CAROL is the perfect holiday show for these credit crunched times. Adapted by Piers Beckley. There is an Ebenezer Scrooge in each of us; it is the lonely part of ourselves that hasn’t yet learnt that love is a thing to share not own. We have been living too long in a credit Scrooged world and this current, global melt down is the consequence of our Ebenezer greed. Using the classic words of Charles Dickens and underscored with traditional and new, original carols, 22 actors tell an unforgettable story in a way that you’ve never seen before; experience this new CHRISTMAS CAROL and be redeemed…forever. Giant Olive has already enjoyed success at the North London pub theatre with productions such as Molière's The Would-Be Gentleman and Antigone, by Sophocles, both of which played to full houses, and was received with great enthusiasm from audiences and press alike.
