Adapted as a half hour radio broadcast including musical interludes. Here is a variation in the acting editions of this famous tale. It's easier than any other version we know and still packed full of the thrill of the Mysterious Spirits' warning, the hard-hearted Scrooge and all the Christmas joy in the Cratchit home. Radio broadcast licensing fees are determined upon application.
By suggesting famous Christmas carols, this talented author incorporates appropriate music for the re-telling of this classic story. You’ll meet all the great characters: Christmases Past, Present, and Future; Tiny Tim; Bob Cratchit; and, of course, Ebenezer Scrooge!

Pip, a country boy who is apprenticed to become a blacksmith, is summoned to the home of an eccentric spinster to be a playmate for her young ward, Estella. Pip soon falls for her but she treats him with cold indifference. Consequently he longs to be turned into a gentleman. The surprise ending is warm and delightfully satisfying. Dickens' sly humor is very affecting on stage.
