A Christmas Carol

by David Edgar, Charles Dickens (Source Material)

A brand new adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic – one of the most loved short stories ever written. In one ghostly Christmas night, cold-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge learns to pity himself and to love his neighbor – but is that enough? David Edgar is one of our greatest living writers. His rich history with the RSC stretches from Destiny in 1976 through the multi-award-winning adaptation of Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby , to Written on the Heart (2011). Now he returns to Dickens to rediscover the social conscience of this timeless tale.

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.
