Albert Finney stars as
miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this musical retelling of Charles Dickens' “A
Christmas Carol”.
The classic tale in which
he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him,
revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities
he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate
that awaits him if he does not change his ways.
Scrooge is faced with his
own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own
future will hold, death or redemption.
The Spirits are played
by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Future)
The other key
characters and portrayed by Alec Guinness (Marley), Suzanne Neve (Belle), David
Collings and Frances Cuka (The Cratchit’s), Richard Beaumont (Tiny Tim), Laurence
Naismith and Kay Walsh (The Fezziwig’s), Michael Medwin (Fred) and Anton Rodgers
(Tom Jenkins).
