About the Play
Ebenezer Scrooge is a cold-hearted miser whose chief concern is his bottom line. Despite encouragement from his clerk Bob Cratchit and nephew Fred, Scrooge remains indifferent to the joy and good will of the season. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge encounters the ghost of his old business partner Jacob Marley, who warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three more spectres. What follows is a magical and touching tale about the power of redemption. A story beloved since its original release in 1843, Chapterhouse’s A Christmas Carol is a faithful and heartwarming take on the moving classic, perfect for a cold winter’s night.
