Only got time for one Dickens theatre adaptation this holiday? Allow us to help you decide which suits you best.
is a morality tale about Ebenezer Scrooge's one-night transformation from malevolent miser to charitable cherub. After revisiting the lost opportunities of Christmas past, witnessing the wasted potential of Christmas present, and foreseeing the impending horrors of Christmas future, Scrooge's spirit is rejuvenated, his relationships with his family and the family of his underappreciated employee Bob Cratchit are repaired, and his soul is salvaged. God bless us, everyone.
So popular was Dickens' 1843 novella that London hosted eight stage productions within months. This year, in Austin, two theatre companies roast this old chestnut, doing so through creative lenses that couldn't be more different..
, adapted by Nathan Jerkins and directed by Carl Gonzales, the story is presented by a five-member, all-female company in the style of a 1940s radio play with live foley sound effects and prerecorded background music. It's a staged reading, really, where Dickens' words are delivered as originally intended: verbatim and without dance breaks.
Christmas isn't a competitive sport, except for retailers and divorced parents of young children, but let's see how these two productions of the classic measure up against each other on the things that really count.Ebenezer Scrooge becoming"as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew," is pretty much the point of. Marc Pouhé's Scrooge in the Zach production is greed personified.

Letter: Everybody at Hale Center Theatre should be named Ebenezer ScroogeI attended the matinee performance of “A Christmas Carol” recently at Hale Center Theatre and I had an enjoyable afternoon, but the two-hour entertainment left me $49 behind, which is a good hunk of my limited income which could have gone far for other resources. I am watching a show about a stingy curmudgeon at the same time realizing my money might have gone to the poor and destitute as well rather than an overpriced play to pay for an ornate theater with high overhead.
