Orson Welles' Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play
Thursday, 12 December 2024 - Saturday, 21 December 2024
About this event
The James Joyce Centre is delighted to host an AboutFACE Theatre production of Orson Welles' Christmas Carol.
The festive "radio play within a play" for all the family is back by public demand. In this fast-moving, heartfelt comedy based on true events, radio superstar Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre gang are presenting “A Christmas Carol” in New York live ON-AIR on Christmas Eve 1938 . . . having just lost their Scrooge! Can Orson and his overworked cast survive the last minute chaos to give this Christmas Carol a happy ending?
Featuring a 45-minute version of A Christmas Carol in the 1930s radio style with live sound effects and carols, this is a Christmas treat for the whole family - with a touch of Old Hollywood glamour!
