A Christmas Carol

“The city clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already: it had not been light all day: and candles were flaring in the windows of the neighbouring offices, like ruddy smears upon the palpable brown air. The fog came pouring in at every chink and keyhole, and was so dense without, that the houses opposite were mere phantoms…”

 

Directed by former Globe Associate Tim Carroll, and with puppetry from Mandarava, Dominic’s one-man performance of A Christmas Carol plays each December in London.

 

This 60 minute adaptation follows close to Dickens’ classic narrative: revolving around a central puppet of Scrooge.

 

Since 2011, the Charles Dickens Museum has hosted performances of the show at Dickens’s London home in Doughty St.

 

Other venues include: Jermyn Street, Leicester Square, Soho Theatre, Waterloo East, V&A, Museum of London and the Farnham Maltings.

  • "A worthy rival to Simon Callow's one man Carol"

    Independent on Sunday

  • "Gerrard is such a gifted and charismatic performer ... The contrast of emotions he sweeps the audience through is quite astonishing – we’re feeling boisterous one minute, and experiencing Scrooge’s palpable loneliness the next.”

  • "I came away transfixed and am even writing this with a smile on my face ... please please please go to see this if you can."
