The play<\/b><\/p>\n

Miserable and cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge believes that Christmas is a fraud. He is suddenly visited by the spirit of his old business partner, who warns him to change his vicious and languid character so that he will not meet the same fate as him. The three ghosts of Christmas – Past, Present and Future – will remind him of his mistakes and make him regret his behavior. Eventually, the avaricious Scrooge who feels no compassion for anyone is transformed into the greatest benefactor of his town and changes forever.<\/span><\/p>\n
