A Christmas Carol
by Martha B King (9780876021149)

A CHRISTMAS CAROL - a theatre play script dramatized by Martha B. King from the Charles Dickens classic. Martha B. King's dramatization gives life to Dickens' Christmas season classic creating scenes with dialogue, rather than using a narrator, to carry the action of the story. This play script is as fun to read, as it is to perform, or enjoy presented on stage. SUMMARY - The Cratchit children, preparing for a hearty Christmas in spite of their poverty, are dismayed to learn that their father will have to work on Christmas Day, as his employer, Mr. Scrooge, is mean and miserly. But fragile Tiny Tim convinces his brothers and sisters to go caroling at Mr. Scrooge's office to help him remember it's Christmas. On Christmas Eve, after Scrooge shoos away all well wishers, dismisses Bob Cratchit with savage ill humor, and locks up for the night, his dead partner's ghost undertakes to show him the error of his ways. The three ghosts of Christmases past, present and future visit Scrooge, revealing to him the enlightening truths of what has been, what is, and what will be should he continue in his stingy and heartless ways. When Christmas Day dawns, Scrooge is a changed man and with new joy goes about making amends for the needless pain he has caused. The play ends with Scrooge's visit to Bob Cratchit's home, and Tiny Tim's ever hopeful and uplifting toast at the Cratchit dinner table, "God bless us, every one."
