Charles Dickens Reads: A Christmas Carol In-Person
A condensed version of Dickens's classic and sentimental novel about the ghosts of Christmas who help old Ebenezer Scrooge find salvation. Dickens cut several scenes from the novel to shorten the presentation. Still included is most of the opening scene in his counting house, the visit of his deceased partner Jacob Marley, the Christmas dance with his previous employer Fezziwig, Christmas with the Cratchit family, the sale of Scrooge's possessions after his death, the scene of mourning at the Cratchit's, the scene in the graveyard with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, and the final redemption of Scrooge.
