This presentation is a 60-minute adaptation of the famous Christmas story, and will be delivered by a Victorian gentleman who is a great friend of Charles Dickens.
Greedy, grasping Ebenezer Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Jacob regrets the error of his ways when he was alive, and seeks to rescue Scrooge from his fate. To do so, Marley arranges for Scrooge to be visited by 3 Spirits - The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
The Spirits show him the joy of Christmas and the wretchedness of his own existence. Inspired and chastened by what he sees Scrooge resolves to change, and from then on he embraces and promotes the true spirit of Christmas. As Tiny Tim says, "God bless us, everyone"!
