“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, in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving twist on the traditional Christmas Carol.
“Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” features a four-person cast, depicting 18 beloved characters, as well as some new ones, with performances by Elizabeth Fritsch, Victor McDermott, Mark Vukelic and Matthew Wallace.
Performances take place at The Dio, located at 177 E. Main St. in Pinckney, from Nov. 24 through Dec. 31, Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoons. There will be one weekday matinee on Thursday, Dec. 21. There will be no performances on Dec. 24 or Dec. 29.
