Being a Ghost Story of Christmas The award-winning Dyad Productions, (Lady Susan, A Room of One's Own, I, Elizabeth, Austen's Women, Female Gothic) who have toured their sell-out festive show Christmas Gothic since 2015, now bring their magic to Dickens' classic and perennially relevant ghost story. It's Christmas Eve, and the miserly misanthrope, Ebenezer Scrooge, is about to have a ghostly night he'll never forget. Dickens' festive, immortal tale of redemption and compassion is brought to life in Dyad's inimitable solo style. Draw near for an evening of mistletoe and merriment in the company of Marley, Fezziwig, and Cratchit et al to discover the true meaning of Christmas: tenderness for the past, courage for the present, and hope for the future. Ebenezer lives in us all, and this glorious tale reminds us how not to give in to the Scrooge within. Taking inspiration from Dickens' original performances of his own work and utilising the brilliant narrator of the novel to bring the story to life, this solo piece is performed by Andrew Margerison (Frantic Assembly's Fatherland, Macbeth), and directed by Rebecca Vaughan.
