Description

A solo retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The play supposes that Scrooge and the accompanying cast of characters are created in an intense session of writing and storytelling on Christmas Eve, 1843.

The 2022 production marked the 20th anniversary of Penning the Carol as one of Newfoundland’s favourite Christmas traditions. It was also RCA’s 50th anniversary, and the 85th anniversary of opening-night sponsor Browning Harvey. Together, the event marked the celebration of over 150 years of anniversary.
