This "A Christmas Carol"
goes beyond other adaptations with a unique dramatic concept: At the opening
curtain, Charles Dickens himself is introduced to the audience, ready to
present one of the famed platform readings of his stories that packed
auditoriums in Europe and America. Of course, the story chosen is one which
he often performed, "A Christmas Carol". The story unfolds behind him, and
soon Dickens is weaving in and out of the action, observing, performing
small roles, interpolating short passages of rich narrative never heard in
other versions. The perfect Christmas present!
