Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, and More to Voice New Adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Charles Dickens’ classic story A Christmas Carol is set to get a new adaptation with quite the cast. Directed by Jacqui Morris and David Morris, the adaptation features dancers performing the different roles but then top notch actors like Carey Mulligan, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Simon Russell Beale, and Andy Serkis doing the voice work. The directors wanted a dream-like experience for the audience and I think it sounds pretty cool.

This retelling of the classic Christmas tale follows a Victorian family as they prepare a toy theater for their annual performance of “A Christmas Carol.” The audience enters the imagination of one of the children and the cardboard stage transforms to reveal a magical world containing real dancers and stylized sets, with spoken narration.

The list of dancers include Michael Nunn, Jakub Franasowicz, Russell Maliphant, Karl Fagerlund Brekke, Mikey Boats, Grace Jabbari, and Dana Fouras. A Christmas Story is set to release in the U.K. in cinemas and theaters on November 20. I want to see it as soon as it’s available in the U.S.
