“… deeply moving … one of the most artistic, creative, and energetic performances of the Boston Theatre season … an early Christmas gift I will long remember …” Dr. Al Chase, White Rhino ReportIn what has become a Plymouth holiday tradition, Actor Neil McGarry returns to the Spire Center For Performing Arts on December 22nd in his award winning, solo performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
Named “Best Of Boston” by critic Jules Becker, A Christmas Carol was directed by Ross MacDonald and was named "Best Solo Performance” from the Independent Reviewers of New England in 2014.
Armed only with a bare stage and Dickens’ glorious words, McGarry delivers the Dickens’ holiday classic in a tour de force performance that has left audiences riveted from Boston to Prague. Joyous, captivating, and witty, A Christmas Carol is a fully staged, full-throated leap into Dickens’ most famous story, delivered with a simplicity that disarms and touches the heart.
For eleven years, December has found McGarry lugging his trunk, on the road with A Christmas Carol. He began touring New England initially, then the East Coast, and, finally, Europe. 2018 and 2019 saw A Christmas Carol on stages across the continent, Ireland, and the UK with performances in Innsbruck, Dublin, London, Bath, Basel, Brunico, Dusseldorf, Geneva, Co. Leitrim, and Prague. In 2021, 2022, and 2023 McGarry brought A Christmas Carol home to the U.S. for three sold out seasons. December 2024 now beckons with performances at Spire Center For The Arts in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Saco River Theatre River in Buxton, Maine, The Steeple Playhouse in New Bedford, as well as Cotuit Center For The Arts and the Academy Playhouse, both on Cape Cod.
Recent work includes: Noel Coward’s Private Lives (Saco River Theatre), Eine Billion Dollars and Miss Fallaci (as actor Joseph Cotten) both for Paramount Plus, Masas/Sisters (“Best Film” and “Best Director” at the Warsaw Int. Film Festival, multiple other awards in film festivals across Europe), Hill Of Vision (currently streaming on Amazon Prime), Miranda’s Mind, Manaslu - Der Berg Seelen, as well as several commercials. He has made multiple appearances with the Cape Symphony, Plymouth Philharmonic, and the Fremont Symphony in California. A professional actor for over thirty years, Neil received his training at the National Shakespeare Conservatory. He is the founder and former Artistic Director of The Bay Colony Shakespeare Company. Neil currently lives in the Italian Alps.
