Part Christmas Carol, part pantomime, a twist of 39 Steps, and a whole lot of fun nonsense, No Porpoise Productions’ two-hander of A CHRISTMAS CAROL COMEDY is an irreverent love note to Charles Dickens’ classic tale. Kick-start your Christmas Nov 30 – Dec 23 at the Wychwood Theatre.
To save his beloved holiday from the Puritans who sought to squash it, Charles Dickens wrote a silly Christmas ghost story to resurrect the Ghost of Christmases Past. Now, in an age when Christmas shopping begins in September and the season is more full of stress and spending than it is of glad tidings, A CHRISTMAS CAROL COMEDY is sure to revive your good humour and goodwill to all – especially to the two actors on stage tackling all of Dickens’ cherished characters. Mixing shades of Monty Python with the Ghosts of Christmas' Past, Present and Future, this comedy is perfect for anyone aged 5 to 95 looking for a bit of festive fun.
SPECIAL EVENT: God Bless Us Every Onesie!
For every person who attends A Christmas Carol Comedy wearing a onesie on December 1st (4 p.m. or 8 p.m.) No Porpoise Productions will donate $5 from their ticket to Camp Big Canoe to send a kid to camp. Visit www.campbigcanoe.ca for more information.
