THE COMMEDIA A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Public performances:
Jonesborough Repertory Theatre: Dec 8, 7:30

Tickets $12 at the door.

In this faithful 1-act adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, a traveling troupe of commedia del arte players re-create the Victorian world of “A Christmas Carol.” All of the many wonderful characters are played by these five actors with cleverness, skill, and comedy. Dickens, an actor, playwright, and enthusiastic theatergoer, used many theatrical characters in his novels, especially characters from the commedia del arte tradition. The most notable of these is Ebenezer Scrooge, who is played in this adaptation by commedia’s big-nosed Punchin. Just as they would have done in Dickens' own time, the players bring their homemade costumes and props onstage with them. Sometimes frenzied, but always fun, this dynamic adaptation puts a fresh spin on one of our most beloved holiday stories.
