Overview
Ashley Riches’ vibrant voice and charismatic artistry are set to enliven the familiar characters of A Christmas Carol, marshalled by David Owen Norris in his staged and through-sung narration of Dickens’s timeless tale. The bass-baritone follows in the author’s footsteps to impersonate the Ghosts, the Cratchits, the inhabitants of Victorian London’s streets and, of course, Ebeneezer Scrooge.
