Dickens' Holiday Classic 

About

Dickens' Holiday Classic
A virtual telling of A Christmas Carol
Adapted and directed by E.G. BAILEY and JOSEPH HAJ
Presented virtually and available to stream, December 19–31, 2020

One of Charles Dickens’ favorite ways to spread holiday cheer was to perform dramatic readings of his beloved ghost story for audiences near and far. With a trusty, self-edited copy of his novella in hand, Dickens took Scrooge’s tale of transformation on the road for years, standing at podiums and entertaining large crowds of devoted fans from London to Boston and beyond.

Drawing inspiration from this centuries-old tradition, we are proud to present a special virtual event featuring a cast of four beloved A Christmas Carol veterans who will reimagine Dickens’ hand-curated chapters for a global audience to enjoy. During the season that would have brought our 46th consecutive production of A Christmas Carol to the Guthrie stage, we’re thrilled to continue this holiday tradition virtually with the hope of making spirits bright while our stages are dark.

Dickens’ Holiday Classic is not a recording of the Guthrie's stage production of A Christmas Carol. It is a newly conceived offering that will be filmed and available to stream December 19–31.
