DETAILS
“…this evocative, thoughtfully realized production is bound to elicit as much surprise as delight.”
"Fellow Passengers" is a three-person narrative theatre adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," directed by Greg Carter. Including nearly every word of the 1843 novel, “Passengers” playfully engages found objects, clothes, and furniture to restore vitality to the most important story ever written. Reginald Andre Jackson, Sunam Ellis, and Lamar Legend share the role of literature's most famous haunted man and his joyful discovery that the people around him are "fellow passengers to the grave; not another race of creatures bound on other journeys".
"In Fellow Passengers playwright Greg Carter has brought the story back to life more certainly than the ghost of Jacob Marley, and he uses that renewed vitality to return us to something much closer to Dickens. In the place of the usual sweet sentimentality and festive affirmation of good spirits and merrymaking, this superb production gives us a real ghost story, fearsome in its threat and uncompromising in its moral imperative... Make no mistake, these are three actors working at the top of their game, in a show that allows them to do everything that live theatre is uniquely capable of doing..." ––Jerry Kraft, Seattle Actor
"At this time of year, when Dickens' story has such particular resonance, this evocative, thoughtfully realized production is bound to elicit as much surprise as delight. For those who think they know A Christmas Carol so well that there's no need for further exposure, Fellow Passengers is a refreshing and vital reintroduction to Dickens' masterpiece." ––Chris Comte, Seattle Actor
