Marc Lottering is Scrooge in Lara Foot’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol at the Baxter Theatre starring Shaleen Surtie-Richards, Andrew Buckland and Christo Davids and a full children’s choir.
There’s nothing mean when it comes to this inventive, colourful, infectious and hilarious production at the Baxter! This Scrooge delivers generous dollops of wicked good fun, that has the audience responding with audible guffaws of delight.
A Christmas Carol is one of the most daring and beloved books Charles Dickens ever wrote. It has become a classic Christmas tale for generations of children. Now Lara Foot gives this classic tale a Cape Town twist. Set in the early 1900s, Scrooge, aka Marc Lottering, and the talented star studded cast offers up an hilarious almost pantomine take on this Dickens classic. Charles must be chuckling! And so will anyone with a sense of humour…..

And these talented young performers with a charming stage presence certainly add value.
