About the play:
It's one year later, and Ebenezer Scrooge has disappointingly changed back into his miserable self. He is now suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas for a variety of crimes against his person when they visited him that memorable Christmas Eve. The Ghosts employ Solomon Rothschild, one of England's most charasmatic and savvy barristers, while Scrooge, true to form, represents himself. What will be the outcome? Come and see so you can be the judge as you enjoy this unique comedic twist to a holiday classic.
