In this second episode (“Present”) of our CRATCHIT’S TABLE podcast limited series, Director Nell Bang-Jensen joins People’s Light Community Programs Creative Director/Associate Director, Andrew Watring, and A CHRISTMAS CAROL adapter/composer and Producing Artistic Director of People's Light, Zak Berkman for a fun and surprising conversation about Nell’s mixed feelings for this old story and how this endeavor has transformed her perspective on Dickens’ tale. They discuss Nell’s first childhood encounter with the play, which left her meh if not bah, as well as what drew her to this new adaptation, the challenges of large casts, and what she hopes audiences will experience this holiday season. A CHRISTMAS CAROL plays at People's Light in Malvern, PA from November 15-December 31, 2023.
