Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol
By Tom Mula
Directed By Denise Burson Freestone
“Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was? Impossible!” So begins the real story behind Dickens’ A Christmas Carol – the story of Jacob Marley’s heroic behind-the-scenes efforts to save old Scrooge’s soul and, in the process, save his own. Aided by a malicious little hell-sprite with an agenda of his own, their surprising journey takes them from the Jaws of Death to the Mouth of Hell – and beyond. True to Dickens’ original, yet with a fascinating twist, this irreverent, intriguing and, ultimately, deeply moving story retells Dickens’ classic with impish wit and infectious zest.
