A Christmas Carol
Work:: A Christmas Carol (S2171)
Dickens's original story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come.
Production:: (T200229908)
On a snowy Christmas Eve, the mean-spirited Ebeneezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his business partner Jacob Marley, who is weighed down by the accumulated chains of a lifetime of greed. Marley tells Scrooge he will be visited by three further spirits, each of whom will offer Scrooge an unsettling vision of himself, as well as an opportunity to change his ways... before it's too late. Dickens's most famous short story sold out in five days following its publication in 1843. It has never been out of print since and has been the subject of many film, stage and television adaptations. As succinct as it is timeless, Dickens's portrait of the meaning of Christmas remains one of enduring resonance.
