What happens when a somewhat cynical, socially focused theatre-maker adapts Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? She deconstructs the whole thing, excises the improbably reformed capitalist/sugar-daddy ending, and puts the plot in the audiences’ hands, of course!

This meta-theatrical, highly interactive play is brought to life by old, dead Marley, who leads a cadre of self-aware characters, and includes a puppet wrestling match, bloody piñata explosion, food, prizes, dancing, and a whole lotta’ laughs.

**Definitely excited about further development - this is a first draft!**

    “ A chopped and remixed take on Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"; lots of fun with unexpected turns and an unusual moral. Some audience participation and puppets encouraged. Highly recommended for a theater looking for experimental and unusual (woke, in the good way) Xmas fare. ”

    “ The Christmas Carol is turned on it's head and it's fantastic! Incredibly funny and entertaining, we get to investigate the questions and issues that come up and it's a thrilling ride! ”

Forget Dickens. Make sure you cast this play with equity and inclusivity in mind. *Doubling encouraged*

On Pronouns: I have occasionally used gendered pronouns in this text. Please do NOT cast your play to suit these pronouns. Rather, you should cast roles as you wish and change pronouns in the dialogue to suit the awesome humans in your cast.
