A Very Jewish Christmas Carol will take you on a wild and laugh-out-loud journey through a familiar, festive and spirited time of the year. Local baker Ely is not letting anything get in the way of trying to recreate her grandmother's famous Polish gingerbread recipe this festive season. Not her family’s impending Chrismukkah celebrations, not the imminent birth of her child and definitely not the ghosts who’ve suddenly shown up in her kitchen. But the reindeer of Chrismukkah Past, Gingerbread Golem and Lilith Claus have other ideas… A joyous retelling of Charles Dickens’s classic tale drawn from the writers’ own backgrounds and starring Natalie Gamsu, Miriam Glaser, Emma Jevons, Evelyn Krape, Jude Perl, Louise Siversen and Michael Whalley, A Very Jewish Christmas Carol is a celebration of life – with a sprinkle of time-travelling ghosts, overbearing relatives and a life lesson or two.
