| Wright as Scrooge P: Bennion |
It is hard to fathom that I had never seen a stage version of a Christmas Carol, until now. Seattle's ACT theater stages this production of the Dickens' Classic Adaptation into a ONE Act, 90 min. version now in its 39th year by ACT Founder, Gregory Falls and Directed by the associate Artistic Director, John Langs has cleverly woven this classic story and staged it in the ROUND, with lots of trap doors and projected images on tapestry. The Dickens Carolers set the mood and the tone as we meet Ebenezer Scrooge (Seattle's Best Theater Actor, R. Hamilton Wright) and Bob Cratchit (James Lapan) as he is forced to work on Christmas Eve.
As Scrooge prepares for bed, he is visited by the ghost of his late 'Partner', Jacob Marley (David Foubert) with a warning of 3 spirits, Past (Sydney Andrews), Present (Charles Leggett) and Future (Scott Abernethy).
