A CHRISTMAS CAROL
A HAOS Productions Play
A festive tale of redemption and compassion to embody the spirit of Christmas
Ebenezer Scrooge is a squeezing, wrenching, grasping old miser – mean to those who owe his moneylending business debt, to those work for him, and to his remaining family; A main devoid of optimism, compassion, love and kindness.
On a frigid Christmas eve he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, the now deceased Jacob Marley, who warms Scrooge that unless he can change his ways he will be doomed to an afterlife free from rest & peace and cursed by endless sorrow.
Scrooge is then visited by the Ghosts of Christmas’ Part, Present and Future who attempt to show him the error of his ways and offer him an opportunity at redemption. When he wakes up on Christmas Day following the ghostly visits, Scrooge is determined to make amends to the individuals and community whom have suffered by this actions – he visits his long-suffering clerk, his nephew, and his former intended, before laying on the greatest Christmas feast, for rich-and-poor alike, that London has ever seen.
This new adaptation of Charles Dickens immortal Christmas staple is a play intertwined with traditional Christmas carols, and has been specifically created for the immersive space of the Wellington Rooms Studio.
HAOS Productions is proud to kick-off the Christmas season by presenting this timeless classic to warm the hearts and get people into the festive spirit.
