Fellow Passengers

Fellow Passengers
DECEMBER 4-22

Note: Monday performances are PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN

FELLOW PASSENGERS is a three-person narrative theatre adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," directed by Lamar Legend. Including nearly every word of the 1843 novel, “Passengers” playfully engages found objects, clothes, and furniture to restore vitality to the most important story ever written. Imogen Love, Kiki Abba, and Heather Persinger share the role of literature's most famous haunted man and his joyful discovery that the people around him are "fellow passengers to the grave; not another race of creatures bound on other journeys".

• "This adaptation by Greg Carter is so much more, and absolutely blew me away... It's all here. Scrooge and Marley. Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. And, of course, the three ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future. Carter has included the entire text from the Charles Dickens novella, showing me elements I’ve never seen before. We see many more images of Christmas Present well beyond the confines of London. And those glorious speeches are much more robust than I ever remember... The level of solid and stunning storytelling up on that stage reminds me why I love theater." ––Jay Irwin, Broadway World
  
  
• "In Fellow Passengers playwright Greg Carter has brought the story back to life more certainly than the ghost of Jacob Marley, and he uses that renewed vitality to return us to something much closer to Dickens. In the place of the usual sweet sentimentality and festive affirmation of good spirits and merrymaking, this superb production gives us a real ghost story, fearsome in its threat and uncompromising in its moral imperative... Make no mistake, these are three actors working at the top of their game, in a show that allows them to do everything that live theatre is uniquely capable of doing..." ––Jerry Kraft, Seattle Actor

• "At this time of year, when Dickens' story has such particular resonance, this evocative, thoughtfully realized production is bound to elicit as much surprise as delight. For those who think they know A Christmas Carol so well that there's no need for further exposure, Fellow Passengers is a refreshing and vital reintroduction to Dickens' masterpiece." ––Chris Comte, Seattle Actor
