Where is it located?
Kensington Palace is still the capital city residence of many British royals to this day. The site is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England.
When was it built and when was it used as a royal residence?
Before it was transformed into a grand royal residence, Kensington Palace was originally a two storey Jacobean mansion which had been built in 1605 in what was then the village of Kensington. In 1619, the house was bought by the 1
st Earl of Nottingham and became known as Nottingham House (which would later be recognised when naming Nottingham Cottage: a small grace-and-favour home within the grounds that was, until recently, the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex).

It isn t the same old A Christmas Carol everyone has seen a dozen times or more.
Artistic Director Josh Harris said the story is centered around a family named Caroll who gather every year at Christmas and perform A Christmas Carol. As the play opens, the audience meets the Carolls at the end of year in which the family has suffered three different deaths. It is how this family is able to gather together after loss and show each other the true meaning of Christmas and the true meaning of redemption, Harris said.
