A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas
I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their house pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Charles Dickens, preface
Welcome to Middle Grey’s presentation of a dramatic reading of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol produced by four brilliant actors, veterans of Canadian and international stages and screens, Dixie Seatle, Geoff Bowes, Maria Ricossa, and John Bourgeois.
“Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?”
Ebenezer Scrooge
His offenses carry their own punishment, and I have nothing to say against him.
Ghost of Christmas Present
“It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men and travel far and wide, and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.”
Ghost of Jacob Marley
“I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the Ghost. “I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”
Scrooge & Ghost of Jacob Marley
“I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you.”
Belle
“There was nothing very cheerful in the climate or the town, and yet was there an air of cheerfulness abroad.”
Narrator
“He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew.”
Narrator
“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.”
