The Plot
Scrooge sits in his counting house on a cold Christmas Eve, miserable and cursing everything to do with Xmas. His clerk, Bob shivers in the side room. Scrooge rejects his nephew Fred’s annual offer to come to their house for
Stave 1 Christmas, and gives nothing but a lecture to two charity collectors. He is visited by Jacob Marley who warns him to take note of his condition and the 3 spirits which will visit him.
Scrooge is taken by the Ghost of Xmas Past, a childlike ghost with a brightly glowing head, back in time to revisit his sad lonely boarding school days left on his own at Xmas, then a time when his sister Fan came to collect him and
Stave 2 he was overjoyed. He is also shown a Christmas Eve when he was the apprentice of Fezziwig, a happy, caring boss. He is also shown the scene where his fiancee, Belle left him, and Belle has a new husband and daughter of her own.
Scrooge is next taken by the Ghost of Xmas Present, a majestic giant wearing a green fur robe, through London to see Christmas as it will happen that year. He watches the Cratchit family prepare a miniature feast in their meager
Stave 3 home. He discovers the courage and kindness of Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit’s crippled son. He sees Fred’s Xmas party, and also countless people around the globe all celebrating Xmas with someone else, unlike Scrooge who appears
doomed to spend it alone. The Ghost ages towards the end of the day, and reveals two starved children, Ignorance and Want, a warning to mankind of not caring for others in society.
The Ghost of Xmas Yet to Come leads Scrooge through a series of mysterious scenes relating to an unnamed man’s recent death. Scrooge sees businessmen discussing the food at the funeral, some uncaring tramp like characters
Stave 4 trading his belongings, and a poor couple expressing relief because their debt may be transferred to someone more merciful. Finally, the Ghost guides Scrooge to an abandoned old gravestone bearing the name of Ebenezer
Scrooge. He begs and pleads with the silent spirit to change his fate, promising to change his ways.
Overwhelmed with the chance to redeem himself, Scrooge rushes out on to the street to share his newfound Christmas spirit with bemused passers-by. He sends a giant Christmas turkey to the Cratchits, and raises Bob’s salary. He
Stave 5 attends Fred’s Xmas party, and gives a generous sum to the charity collectors. As the years go by, he holds true to his promise and honours Christmas with all his heart, treating Tiny Tim as if he were his own child, providing for the
poor, and treating fellow human beings with kindness, generosity and warmth.
