AboutFACE's much-loved festive "radio-play-within-a-play" for the whole family returns by popular demand this December!
In this fast-moving, heartfelt comedy based on true events, radio superstar Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre gang are presenting "A Christmas Carol" in New York live ON-AIR on Christmas Eve 1938 ... having just lost their Scrooge! Can Orson and his overworked cast survive the last minute chaos to give this Christmas Carol a happy ending?
Featuring a 45-minute version of "A Christmas Carol" in the 1930's radio style with live sound effects and carols, this is a Christmassy treat for the whole family, with a touch of old Hollywood glamour.
Performances run 6-17 December.
