| Synopsis: | 'Bah! Humbug!' Ebenezer Scrooge cares for nothing and nobody. His only love is money. Then, one Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by three ghostly spirits, and he begins a life changing journey of redemption. Our specially adapted version of this classic and much-loved story will feature sixteen young performers drawn from across the Borough of Scarborough, working alongside a professional cast. Dickens spent time in Malton, and based Scrooge's Counting House on a friend's offices in Chancery Lane. What if Scrooge grew up in Ryedale? Was the penny-pinching old miser a Yorkshire man after all? | |||||
