Based on ÒA Christmas CarolÓ by Charles Dickens, this fresh, funny new version of Scrooge, by Channel 4 comedy writer Brian Luff, takes the much-loved Christmas story and turns it into a traditional British pantomime.

While staying true to the original story, and using lots of the original dialogue, the script includes plenty of snappy banter, knockabout humour, audience participation and slick, modern comedy routines.

The production requires a very large cast with lots of parts for children. It features Mrs Fezziwig as the panto dame and an hilarious double act called McKinley & Maconie Ð a couple of out of work actors turned
charity fundraisers.

ThereÕs a messy slapstick Ògrape treadingÓ routine with Mr & Mrs Fezziwig during ScroogeÕs journey with the Ghost of Christmas Present and the part of Jacob MarleyÕs ghost is ideal for a comedian.

Have a very Merry Christmas with Mr Scrooge!
