A Christmas Carol door Orange Theatre Company

What the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future reveal

Orange Theatre Company (OTC) returns to Amsterdam's stage, December 2–13, with an original adaptation of the most beloved Christmas story: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
Directed by Marcus Coenen and adapted by Hugh Mackay, OTC gives the classic an Orange twist (carols included), set in Marleystadt — a snow-covered 1930s Alpine town where Christmas has become a business.
Here, Ebenezer Scrooge is rebranding Christmas as "Xmas": stripped-down, profit-first, at the expense of loyal clerk Bob Cratchit and his ailing son, Tiny Tim. When Jacob Marley returns from the dead as a warning, three unforgettable spirits take over.
One impossible night. A past reckoned with. A future where greed opens the door to something far darker. OTC's third rendition, this year themed: the rise of fascism.
