Lyndsey Marshal is joining the cast of A Christmas Carol when it returns with Simon Russell Beale and Eben Figueiredo to London’s Bridge Theatre in December.

She completes casting for the show whose run in December 2020 was cut short when Covid lockdowns returned. It originally co-starred Patsy Ferran alongside Russell Beale and Figueiredo.

Devised by Nicholas Hytner, the retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic story runs at 90 minutes without interval and is suitable for all ages. It will be at the Bridge Theatre from 6 to 31 December 2022.

Priority booking opened today (22 September), with public booking at bridgetheatre.co.uk due to open at 10am on 27 September.

Alongside extensive screen credits, Marshal’s recent theatre work includes Force Majeure at the Donmar Warehouse, The Wild Duck at the Almeida Theatre, Diminished at Hampstead Theatre, The Oresteia at Home Manchester and Othello, directed by Nicholas Hytner, at the National Theatre.

A Christmas Carol features set and costume designs by Rose Revitt, with lighting by Jon Clark, sound by Gareth Fry, video design by Luke Halls and Zakk Hein, music by Grant Olding, and choreography by James Cousins.
