The James Joyce Centre is delighted to host an AboutFACE Theatre<\/strong><\/a> production of Orson Welles’ Christmas Carol<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The much-loved festive “radio play within a play” for all the family is back by public demand at a beautiful and evocative new venue. In this fast-moving, heartfelt comedy based on true events, radio superstar Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre gang are presenting \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a 45-minute version of A Christmas Carol<\/em> in the 1930\u2019s radio style with live sound effects and carols, this is a Christmas treat for the whole family, with a touch of old Hollywood glamour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
