Due to ongoing government guidelines restricting the reopening of theatres at full capacity, Nottingham Playhouse and producer Eleanor Lloyd have announced that A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story a brand-new adaptation by Mark Gatiss, directed by Nottingham Playhouse Artistic Director, Adam Penford has been postponed until 2021.
Performances will now take place at Nottingham Playhouse from 29 October to 13 November 2021 and at the Alexandra Palace Theatre from 26 November 2021 to 9 January 2022.
Originally scheduled to open in Autumn 2020, A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story will see Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Dracula, The League of Gentlemen, Doctor Who) lead an ensemble cast, in his own retelling of Dickens’ classic winter ghost story, filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects.
Customers who have booked tickets for the production at Nottingham Playhouse do not need to do anything; the box office team will contact them directly. As a registered charity, there will also be an option for customers to donate the value of their tickets to Nottingham Playhouse which will help the theatre to continue its work in the community and work towards reopening.
Current ticketholders for the London engagement at Alexandra Palace have been moved into the equivalent performance and the same seats for the 2021 run, by day of week. Patrons will be able to use their current ticket for performances next year. The Alexandra Palace Theatre Box Office will be in touch with patrons in the coming weeks. No action is needed.
