A Classic Tale of Redemption That Inspired a Revival of Xmas Celebrations
This is a full cast studio production of the classic tale that has become synonymous with Xmas celebrations and inspired a revival of Christmas celebrations in Victorian England. It's a short and simple story in structure, but because of that its appeal and relevance is universal. A wealthy miser named Ebenezer Scrooge lives only to squeeze money from his creditors and accumulate wealth for its own sake, being both friendless and ill-tempered, so very much alone in the world.

When the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future show him the errors of his ways, and that he is headed to a sad and unmourned death, he wakes up to his mistakes and rejoices in the chance to make amends and treat his family and employees with more kindness. It's become done to death in TV specials and dramas, but really, who can deny that the message is absolutely spot-on, in a modern capitalist society that rewards greed and material wealth over generosity of spirit and kindness to others.
