Mike Maran
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Mon 9th January, 7pm
A faithful adaptation of Charles Dickens’ memorable story: Mike Maran’s evocative storytelling, with live music from Norman Chalmers, brings to life the three ghosts who guide Scrooge on his journey, all on a candlelit stage dressed with holly and ivy. A wonderful story with delightful music – including the Christmas carols, music for the ball at Mr Fezziweg’s and Tiny Tim’s song. From the man who brought Italia ‘n’ Caledonia to Mull in 2011, and a fabulous treat for all the family!
ALSO There will be mulled wine & mince pies – and a prize for the best Dickens-style fancy dress outfit!
"The entire production was starkly beautiful and utterly mesmerising. With the support of ingenious lighting and a few props, Mike Maran, accompanied by the near-silent Norman Chalmers, blasted the story of Scrooge into life… With perfect balance these two created a magical moving atmosphere in which every moment, every gesture was executed with a care that allowed nothing extraneous, nothing superfluous, to interfere with the telling of this moving story of redemption… I left feeling emotionally exhausted yet uplifted and with a real sense of urgency that life should be grabbed now and rejoiced in before it’s too late. Deeply, deeply moving." Edinburgh Guide
