Fezziwig's Fortune

    Fezziwig's Fortune by Josie Seid and Sara Jean Accuardi begins with some of the characters we're familiar with from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, but builds a world and tells a story all its own. With great humor and warmth, we get a brand new tale of redemption, and the power of love and family. Recommended!

    This is a lovely Christmas play that follows in the Dickensian tradition of ghosts crafting happy endings. There are surprises and sly humor at every turn, and Ebenezer Scrooge makes an appearance. Best of all, an unsentimental warmth and humanity infuses the script. This is the perfect play for a theater that is perhaps a bit tired of A Christmas Carol, but wants to attract and delight the audience that loves that play. Beautifully done.
