Wargrave Theatre Workshop WEDGE presents

CHRISTMAS,

BAH! HUMBUG!

15th to 17th November 2007

 

Charles Dickens loved a good ghost story. His tradition of producing a ghost story at Christmas reached its high point in 1836 with the publication of his most successful, and possibly the best known ghost story in the world – ‘A Christmas Carol’.

WEDGE is busy rehearsing a specially written, musical adaptation of this well loved story, which has been brought up to date and set in the present. Bob Cratchit is not the only employee at Scrooge & Marley; the Ghost of Christmas Past takes you back to see Scrooge as a boy in wartime Britain, and as a young man in the 60’s. Thirty highly talented members of Wedge will show their acting and musical skills to bring all the usual, well-known characters to life: Scrooge, the Cratchits with Tiny Tim and, of course, no less than four ghosts, as well as some new characters.
