Alley Theatre’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a new twist on an old holiday fave

The production, adapted and directed by Rob Melrose, features outstanding performances from Dylan Godwin and the entire cast

And a strong ensemble it is, with multiple characters playing multiple roles, crisscrossing across the stage to deliver the narration in palatable doses, sticking to Dickens’ prose, and capturing a certain humorous tone that might not be funny, but is amusing and gives us a sense of the time period. But let’s get to the ghosts: Marley , The Past , The Present , and the foreboding Ghost of Christmas future. The the creep quotient is high.
