Patrick Stewart stars
as miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this quality 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 Joel Grey (Past), Desmond Barrit (Present) and Tim Potter (Future)
The other key
characters and portrayed by Bernard Lloyd (Marley), Laura Fraser (Belle), Richard
E. Grant and Saskia Reeves (The Cratchit’s), Ben Tibber (Tiny Tim), Ian McNeice
and Annette Badland (The Fezziwig’s), Dominic West (Fred) and Rosie Wiggins
