Whilst Scrooge meets the three Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, he must learn to embrace the true spirit of Christmas before it's too late. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGary Owen's adaptation translates the novel's narrative fluently and portrays the Dickensian caricatures with flair and fun but not crudeness. Whilst translating the novel for the stage, he also refreshes the 1843 morality tale of ghosts, poverty, avarice and the redemptive power of compassion for a 21st century audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Owen, Charles Dickens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408129463","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43232524370057,"sku":"9781408129463","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d089be1f-fb7f-494d-af61-62e0abc06072.jpg?v=1735030990","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-christmas-carol-9781408129463","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
