About A Christmas Carol
Tight-fisted moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge has only one thing on his mind: money, and how to make more of it. Even Christmas Day can’t stop him, a fact his employee, Bob Cratchit, knows only too well when he has to grovel for a day off with his family. But everything changes when Scrooge is visited by the ghost of an old colleague on Christmas Eve. Marley has an ominous warning: before dawn breaks on Christmas morning, he will encounter three more ghosts with a chilling message…
Charles Dickens’s beloved story about a man whose heart thaws as he embraces the spirit of Christmas has been a firm favourite for over 170 years. It is one of the most adapted stories ever told, with everything from musicals to Muppets bringing the cast - including Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come - to life for several generations.
