Writer says production of Dickens classic will debut at Nottingham Playhouse in October 2021 due to uncertainty over reopening of UK theatres
Mark Gatiss’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol has been delayed for a year by the uncertainty about the reopening of UK theatres. The production, in which Gatiss will play the ghost of Ebenezer Scrooge’s business partner, Jacob Marley, will open at Nottingham Playhouse in October 2021 and at Alexandra Palace in London the following month.
Gatiss appeared beneath a hood as “the ghost of Christmas past, present and future” to make the announcement in a video message. In the past, he said, he was commissioned to adapt the Charles Dickens classic. The production is not possible during the pandemic, but, “looking into Christmas future, we are going to do it next year. Don’t worry, we’ll be back as shiny as a mince pie.”
A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story with @Markgatiss & @AdamPenford has moved to 26 Nov 2021-9 Jan 2022. If you've already got tickets your booking will be rescheduled to the equivalent date in 2021/22. Your ticketing provider will be in touch with more info https://t.co/GWS88GODFU pic.twitter.com/m9LiKsOHhR
