A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens’ most popular novel returns to the National Theatre of Greece in a great performance, based on Jack Thorne’s adaptation, inviting us in a world of dreams and imagination, revealing the true meaning of Christmas. 
Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story was first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 19 December 1843 and the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve.
