A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Synopsis

Extreme poverty is everywhere in Victorian London but one man stalks through the frozen streets unaffected. More than that, taking advantage of the suffering of his fellow man. Ebeneezer Scrooge has no time for family, friends or charity as the miser grows rich and evermore alone. But death stalks Scrooge's steps as the ghost of his former partner warns him of his fate and more ghosts to come. The apparitions show Scrooge his past, the present reality of his friends and family, and the potential future which holds more death and destruction. Charles Dickens' tale leads his protagonist to redemption and the transformed lives of his friends and his relationships in this seasonal classic.
