By Charles LudlamAdapted from the novel by Charles Dickens
A ridiculous but surprisingly faithful rendition of the Dickens classic.
A ridiculous but surprisingly faithful rendition of the Dickens classic. Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by the ghosts of Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come. Faced with his own mortality and the evil results of his misanthropic, miserly ways, Scrooge is redeemed, reconciled with his nephew and his neighbors, and becomes a second father to his assistant’s son, Tiny Tim. Ludlam finds the humor as well as the pathos in this Victorian melodrama.
A Christmas Carol as adapted by Charles Ludlam premiered with the Ridiculous Theatrical Company at the Charles Ludlam Theatre in the December of 1979. Directed by Charles Ludlam, the production featured John D. Brockmeyer, Charles Ludlam, Lola Pashalinski, Renée Pearl, Everett Quinton and Bill Vehr.
