If you’re feeling the loss of not being able to get out to the theatre this Christmas, then you might want to check out this streamed version of a Christmas Carol, performed online, but still with a fully interactive audience.
A ChristMESS Carol will see Open Bar Theatre company take their joyous, chaotic energy online with a live ticketed Zoom production.
Polished performances in step with comic timing and the occasional comedic calamity make for an really engaging and entertaining online show – putting quite the spin on traditional Dickens.
And if you’re not sure how online interactive theatre works, then let The Upcoming’s five star review from their press night reassure you – they said “Open Bar Theatre’s online A ChristMESS Carol won’t make you forget that you are watching a panto via Zoom rather than live in a theatre, but it hardly matters. The company manages to bring the best possible result out of the medium, creating a beautifully engaging and entertaining panto that can be enjoyed by everyone. A must-see for a socially-distanced Christmas 2020.”
A ChristMESS Carol manages to be silly and funny, but still stays pretty true to the original text, and you get the chance to join in (only if you want to). You’ll have the option of choosing to throw yourself into playing a character, nominating a friend to be part of the show, or you can just sit back and enjoy.
So, if you fancy letting the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come guide Scrooge and yourself, through a spiritual journey that will remind us all of the meaning of Christmas from the cosy, warmth of your own home … then get yourself a ticket to this online production.
As the ChristMESS Carol team say – “Christmas is a time for family, friends and chaotic online adaptations of 'A Christmas Carol' It will be live, it will be joyous, it will be MESSY”
The show will be sold on a “three tiered” ticketing system, where audiences pay what they can (£10, £20 or £30), and all of the profits will be shared equally between the cast and creatives. And only one ticket per household is needed – so it’s a pretty bargainous family evening “at the theatre”
