Press release: A Christmas Carol by Charles Ludlam (from Charles Dickens)

A Christmas Carolby Charles Ludlam

based on the story by Charles DickensNov. 28-Dec. 14, 2019

DIRECTED BY PENNY NASH: A ridiculous but surprisingly faithful rendition of the Dickens classic. Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by the ghosts of Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come. Faced with his own mortality and the evil results of his misanthropic, miserly ways, Scrooge is redeemed, reconciled with his nephew and his neighbours, and becomes a second father to his assistant's son, Tiny Tim. Ludlam finds the humor as well as the pathos in this Victorian melodrama.
