This Christmas, the haunting returns. Following a critically acclaimed 2023 run, Mark Gatiss’ spine-chilling retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story once again takes over Alexandra Palace Theatre in 2025. Neil Morrissey, beloved for Men Behaving Badly and Waterloo Road, will appear as Jacob Marley, and Matthew Cottle (Bridgerton and The Windsors), reprises his role as Scrooge.
