SYNOPSIS

'Bah! Humbug!'
Scrooge and his anti - Christmas feelings , Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, the Spirit of Christmas Past, Present and Future - a cast of ever popular characters take us on a journey to discover the true Christmas Spirit.
Keeping as close as possible to the original Dickens tale of redemption, while keeping to a running time of 40 minutes, the aim of this adaptation was to preserve the actual text but edit it down to a simpler and more manageable length .
For use in primary or middle schools - or early KS3.
This version works well for use in primary schools and as an introduction to both Dickens and Victorian London.
