The journey of Ebenezer Scrooge
Our story is set in London and it's 24 December.
Everyone - but especially the children - is looking forward to the best holiday of the year. A time when people give each other presents, sing together, are merciful and happy.
Ebenezer Scrooge sees things differently. An ice-cold, calculating rich businessman, consumed by greed and avarice and long dead in his heart. For him, Christmas is nothing more than a waste of time and money.
But this night, his life is about to change: suddenly and unexpectedly, he receives an uninvited visit from his business partner Marley. Or rather: from his ghost. Because Marley has been dead for many years. But his ghost is not at peace, because in his lifetime he was just as bad a character and as corrupted by money as Ebenezer Scrooge.
Marley's ghost and two other figures from the afterlife have come to show Ebenezer his faults and make him a better person. Can they succeed ...?
