‘A Christmas Carol’ at Hatbox Theatre
Hatbox Theatre will present Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol for four weekends this holiday season, beginning Friday, with shows running through Dec. 18.
In this original adaptation, the Hatbox Theatre production has everything you might expect from Dickens’s classic tale, but with a slight twist. Taking Scrooge’s statement, “You may be an undigested bit of beef . . .” — a line in the original story at face value, the show is crafted from the perspective that this may, indeed, be all a bad dream that ultimately leads to redemption.
Projections, costumes, environmental sound and a re-imagined opening to the tale coupled with hyper-naturalistic acting to draw audiences into Scrooge’s journey through the past, present, and future of his mind. Audience members, too, will wonder if they are dreaming when they are immersed in sound, lights and effects that bring out some eerier aspects of Scrooge’s fateful night.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16.50 or $13.50 for members, seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased at hatboxnh.com or by calling 715- 2315.
Hatbox Theatre will also partner with Tales Told Productions to present Tales Told – Authentic Voices Sharing True Tales of the Human Experience on Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m.
Craft a five-minute soliloquy of your firsthand experience centered around the evening’s theme, Home for the Holidays.
