    Press Quotes

    “… [a] rich new holiday confection, MARLEY’S GHOST. Jeff Goode’s play is a smart, engaging prequel to A CHRISTMAS CAROL that stirs in some wicked whimsy à la Lewis Carroll and ultimately conveys the same inspirational message of hope and forgiveness as the original … Theatergoers … will witness a rather exquisite blend of foolery and feeling.” —Los Angeles Times

    “… Jeff Goode’s bizarre take on A Christmas Carol and a Dickens of an update it is … The often tongue-in-cheek/often poignant slant on the holiday classic is … enough to make this an annual event.” —Backstage West
