A Dickens Of A Tale • A Mono-Play

A Dickens Of A Tale • A Mono-Play

An Evening with 8 Characters of “A Christmas Carol”

by Geoff Callaway

It is ten years after Ebeneezer Scrooge’s “Great Epiphany” and he has gone on to meet his maker. Some friends and family have gathered together to eulogize him in a heartfelt memorial service that celebrates him–not as he was, but what he became. A comedic take on the power of redemption and forgiveness, A Dickens of a Tale brings together favorite characters from the novel to “sing” another Christmas Carol in 8 compelling, sometimes hilarious and always entertaining monologues.

Available in the Standard and Family Versions. (See below.)
