Sinopsis

The traditional Christmas classic novel by Charles Dickens adapted for the stage by award-winning playwright Gary Owen. Tucked up in his old, decaying house on a cold Christmas Eve, lonely, curmudgeonly Scrooge hears the rattle of chains and strange wailing noises:áitâÇÖs the ghost of his old business partner, Marley, come to warn Scrooge that if he doesnâÇÖt change his ways, he will suffer a terrible fate. Whilst Scrooge meets the three Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, he must learn to embrace the true spirit of Christmas before itâÇÖs too late. Gary OwenâÇÖs adaptation translatesáthe novelâÇÖs narrative fluently and portrays the Dickensian caricatures with flair and fun but not crudeness. Whilst translating the novel for the stage, he alsoárefreshesáthe 1843 morality tale of ghosts, poverty, avarice and the redemptive power of compassionáfor a 21st century audience.
