Illustration of a small stage with red curtains where two nutcracker soldiers and a dancer perform near a glowing fireplace (A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance)

A Christmas Carol - A One-Man Performance

Performer Mat Jones brings Charles Dickens's holiday classic to the stage in a solo production drawn directly from the author's unaltered reading script. Staged without sets or modern adaptations, the performance uses voice alone to portray Victorian London, from Scrooge's counting house and Fezziwig's ball to the visits of the spirits.
