Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, directed by Patti Gage

Saturday, December 1st, 2007, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Nagoya Players

A Christmas Carol takes place in the early 1800's in London. Ebenezer Scrooge (Cameron Smith), a miserly greedy man, has lost his connection to humanity and the spirit of Christmas. The play begins on Christmas Eve in Scrooge's office. Scrooge and Bob Cratchit (Hiro Hirashiki), Scrooge's ill-treated clerk, are busy at work. Disgusted by the Christmas atmosphere, Scrooge reluctantly allows Bob to take off on Christmas day. While preparing for bed after having eaten dinner alone, Scrooge notices a strange noise echoing throughout his house. He soon realizes that the noise is coming from his long-deceased partner, Marley (Michael Kruse). Marley gives Scrooge a chance to alter fate by informing Scrooge of visits by 3 ghosts: Christmas Past (Prisca Molotsi), Christmas Present Present (Ben Backwell), and Christmas Yet to Come (Brice Antoine). In one night, the ghosts show Scrooge events from his past, present, and future. Scrooge is reminded of how he used to be happy and full of life. He is also shown how he has affected those around him, namely Bob Cratchit and his crippled son, Tiny Tim (Kento Kishida).
