An original stage adaptation of Charles' Dickens' Novella, A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol is truly timeless, and the story has as much to offer a modern audience as it did to its readers when first published 180 years ago.

More DescriptionAn original stage adaptation of Charles' Dickens' Novella, A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol is truly timeless, and the story has as much to offer a modern audience as it did to its readers when first published 180 years ago. Although the current play includes a twist or two of its own (not the least of which is the liberal use of classic Christmas Carols throughout the tale), Ebenezer is a faithful rendition of the original story. Dickens' heavy reliance on narration presents some challenges for the playwright, as does the need to keep the cast of "extras" at a manageable level. Ebenezer attempts to balance these factors while enhancing, rather than detracting from, the story's powerful message of a bitter, miserly misanthrope and his experience with several Spirits one memorable Christmas.Among many others in the cast, you will find Ebenezer Scrooge himself, his nephew Fred, his clerk Bob Cratchit, Bob's wife Molly, and the Cratchit children - including the ailing but cheerful Tiny Tim! You will see his old boss Fezziwig and his deceased partner Marley, as well as his loving sister Fan and his childhood sweetheart Belle. And, of course, you will see the 3 Christmas spirits. But, most of all, the author hopes you will experience the true spirit of Christmas, which infuses the entire tale!
