A Contemporary Christmas Carol

Despite his vast wealth Scrooge is a miserable and mean spirited man. He is infamous for his devious dealings, uncharitable nature and his hatred for anything related to Christmas. However, during a visit from his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, Scrooge is informed he must accompany three ghosts on a life-changing journey to face his past misdemeanors. Over the space of one night Scrooge is forced to face up to his past and present, as well as glimpse what his future may look like should he continue in his cruel and heartless ways. Performed in one act, this interpretation of A Christmas Carol is set in the modern day and features much of the original narrative and characters from the Charles Dickens novel as well as several new names, places and scenes.
