This is not the old, familiar “Christmastiffany jewelry Carol.” Here, Scrooge moves over, and Jacob Marley tells his side of the ghost story.
Mad Hatt’r Theatre Co. will bring an uproarious holiday comedy to the community theater at Twin Falls’ senior center with its reading of “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol.” At 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 21 and 28, the readings will feature Magic Valley actors Michael Johnson, Tony Mannen, Billy Perry and Jud Harmon.
The senior center, at 530 Shoshone St. W., is across from Depot Grill. Tickets are $5, available at the door.
“Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge?” says Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge’s discount tiffany former partner. “The one man I knew who was worse than I was? Impossible!”
So begins the story behind the scenes of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” — the story of Jacob Marley’s heroic but hysterical efforts to save old Scrooge’s soul and, in the process, save his own. Aided by a Bogle, a malicious little hell-sprite with an agenda of his own, the journey takes them from the Jaws of Death to the Mouth of Hell.
Note to families:It’s an irreverent farce, and Mad Hatt’r caters to adult theater crowds.
“Jacob Marley’s Christ-mas Carol” played for two seasons at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre silver bangles, a Mad Hatt’r press release said. The show was nominated for four Joseph Jefferson Awards and received an After Dark Award and the Goodman School of Drama’s Cunningham Prize for Playwriting. The play has since been performed in theaters across the country, and for seven seasons it has been broadcast nationally on NPR.
