Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol is a new twist on the classic story. “Marley was dead, to begin with…” – and what happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work. Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his own chains, he must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey, of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley – in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story – discovers his own. Organic Theater Company takes you on this unusual voyage through a familiar tale. You will never think of Scrooge and Marley the same way again.
