A Christmas Carol

BY DAVID van BELLE

DIRECTED BY LIANNA MAKUCH,

ORIGINAL DIRECTION BY DARYL CLORAN

“Repeated viewings of the production, created by Daryl Cloran and directed in glorious dramatic detail by Lianna Makuch, don’t dim my appreciation of the layered and powerful performance at its centre.”

— Liz Nicholls, 12thNight

David van Belle’s adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic returns to the Citadel! Ebenezer Scrooge has been given just one night to redeem himself but will the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future help him overcome a lifetime of indifference before all hope is lost? Transport yourself to the mid-1950s with nostalgic songs like I’ll be Home For Christmas and White Christmas and experience the magic of the season.

November 27 - December 24, 2025 at the Citadel Theatre.

Lianna also was assistant director to Daryl Cloran on A Christmas Carol in 2022, 2023, and directed the 2024 production.
