Presenting the kind of story filled with the usual street thugs and police to present the classic Christmas tale from Dickens. Dick introduces the parts and the players as the play begins.
Scrooge bosses his frozen employee, Bob Crachet, and brushes off his nephew’s jive talking greeting with a humbug, and the desire to make a few extra Christmas bucks.
Richard offers voiceover to move the story along, and show how former partner Jacob Marley visits. Modern lingo and pop culture peppers the dialog as the Christmas Ghosts take turns visiting. Visiting his hard upbringing, Scrooge finds it wasn’t all.bad. Old Fezzywig, and more, but there’s more in store to get old Scrooge squared away.
The Ghost of Christmas present whisks Scrooge away to see the Christmas cheer in the Crachet family. Sights of cheer and misery are seen, then the final spirit. The mood turns somber as Scrooge is shown his fate. Has it changed his heart? Will he get the chwance to make Christmas right for himself and everybody else?
I think you know how this ends. Scrooge cleans up his act, spreads Christmas cheer, and even pulls a prank on his overworked assistant.
