A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story
Neil Morrissey joins Mark Gatiss's in A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story for its third Christmas season.
Back for a third Christmas season in London, A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story, Mark Gatiss’ spine-chilling retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story once again takes over Alexandra Palace Theatre in 2025. Neil Morrissey, beloved for Men Behaving Badly and Waterloo Road, will appear as Jacob Marley, and Matthew Cottle ( Bridgerton and The Windsors), reprises his role as Scrooge.
Frozen in time with beautifully preserved original features, the wonderfully atmospheric Alexandra Palace Theatre provides the perfect setting for audiences to enjoy one of the most famous and beloved Christmas stories ever told. Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
It’s Christmas Eve, and the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge receives a chilling visit from the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains for a lifetime of greed, Marley warns Scrooge it isn’t too late to change his fate, but only if he survives three more ghostly encounters…
They are joined by Charlotte Bate as Mrs Cratchit, Michaela Bennison as Caroline, Jacob Daniels as Swing, Henry Davis as Bob Cratchit, Maya de Faria as Swing, Elliot Douglas as Tiny Tim, Michael Mears as the Narrator, Kalifa Taylor as Belle, Mark Theodore as Ghost of Christmas Present and Lance West as Fred. The production is directed by Adam Penford.
A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story is playing at the Alexandra Palace Theatre in London from 22 November 2025 to 4 January 2026.
