Growing up, A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, would scare the dickens out of me (pardon the pun). It was those three spirits that would unnerve me every time.
But all who are familiar with the classic tale also are aware that it ended well. If you are looking for a nice play to check out this holiday season, be certain to check out A Christmas Carol in play format.
Specific details below:
