The wonderful ghostly world of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, re-told in a proper, warm, friendly London accent. Ebenezer Scrooge is a bitter old man, his hard-nosed attitude to Christmas and the hard-up of the streets of London, summed up as "bah, humbug!" In this passionate telling, C. C. Hogan will take you back to 1843, to the world of the common man, of extreme poverty, but of honest hearts and honest souls.

This critically acclaimed holiday staple about a bitter old man visited by three ghosts in London at Christmas has never been out of print. The work on which this somewhat wry production is based, and that has been adapted often for film, stage, and opera, is a story of redemption, moral concience, and charity. But it is also what its subtitle plainly states: a ghost story.

This quintessential Christmas tale shows Dickens at his dazzling and provocative best, leaving Scrooge no doubts about the true spirit of Christmas, nor about the perils of ignoring the insistent ghosts of Christmases Past, Present...and Yet to Come.
