About this Event
From the writer and director of Laroche and The Narcissist comes a candlelit, gothic reimagining of Dickens’ most loyal wife — not as a background figure, but as the beating heart of a forgotten home.
It is Christmas Eve. The fire burns low. The house is empty. And Emily Cratchit — mother, wife, survivor — speaks.
As she kneads dough with aching hands and patches threadbare clothes by flickering light, memories stir like ghosts: of love and loss, of hunger and rage, of all the quiet, unseen work it takes to hold a family together while the world forgets your name.
But the most haunting memories are of old Ebenezer Scrooge and his partner, Jacob Marley.
Mrs. Cratchit: A Christmas Past is a haunting one-woman performance told in whispers, warmth, and shadow. It is not just a retelling.
It is a reckoning.
