Details

On a cold Christmas Eve, four spirits conspire to show Ebenezer Scrooge the error of his ways. His old business partner, Jacob Marley has returned from the dead to offer him a second chance, if he can change his mean and miserly behaviour. Nowhere are the effects of poverty more keenly felt than in the Cratchit family, especially by their youngest son, Tiny Tim. As Scrooge's inspirational journey shows him both the hardship and love of those around him, he is reminded of his own powers of charity and kindness. Andrew and his family decide to spend Christmas at their Aunts' country cottage in a bid to drag their brother out of his "Bah, Humbug" Christmas feeling. The house, however, has ideas of its own in this wonderful retelling of Dickens' timeless classic. When a power cut threatens to ruin their 'grown-up' family Christmas, they decide to tell each other one of the most well known Christmas tales which, with the magic of the season and Hulse's wonderful storytelling style, brings out the inner child in all three siblings and fun is all that can be had.
