YOU SAID:

Ebenezer Scrooge, obsessed with solitude and greed, collides in a nightmare with his own youth and his lost love. In Frederick Gaines‟s theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens‟s story, Scrooge is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come in A Christmas Carol, by Frederick Gaines 2 scenes that flow rapidly from one to the next, activated by the setting. Carolers sing fragments of joyous Christmas songs in the corners of Scrooge‟s mind, and a little girl with a doll accompanies him on the street and joins him on his dream-journey. The visiting spirits of Christmas force Scrooge to confront people and scenes from his life that remind him of his friendlessness – he even sees his home and his future corpse being rifled by his own servants. Finally, he awakens to the reality of Christmas morning and discovers the joy of giving, loving, and caring for others. The play is designed to be produced on a simply mounted, nonrealistic setting. A high platform that serves as Scrooge‟s bed is at a downstage right. The space under it forms the entrance to Scrooge‟s office. A series of stairs and ramps makes a curving sweep from the bed across the upstage area and slopes down to a chair-high platform at left center. The set is painted black and is hung with dark textured fabrics at the back and sides. The props include candles, lanterns, the little girl‟s doll, and platters of food and bowls of drink for Fezziwig‟s party. The set furnishings include Scrooge‟s writing desk, the Cratchits‟ armchair, and chandeliers for the parties. The costumes, based on fashions of the nineteenth-century London, provide color and texture against the abstract setting.
