A Christmas Carol

by David Edgar (Adapter), Charles Dickens

One ghostly Christmas night, cold-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge gets the fright of his life, discovers the truth about himself, and learns to love his neighbour.

This adaptation by David Edgar of the Charles Dickens classic – one of the best-loved stories ever written – rediscovers the social conscience of the timeless tale. It was premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon for Christmas 2017.

I really liked this Christmal Carol adaption as a play. I loved the choice of bringing in the element of seeing Dickens creating the piece.

I discovered there are many more adaptions out there so I think this can become a yearly tradition for some time.
