Christmas Carol - A Fairy Tale

MFA Acting (International)

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail but HIS WIFE, Fan Scrooge, IS NOT. She is a woman not for turning by the old 3 ghosts. What else does she need?


A contemporary twist on Charles Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol. The story of Fan Scrooge, sister of Ebenezer Scrooge and a wife of Jacob Marley, who inherited the money-lending business. She's a tenacious businesswoman in a male-dominant world. On Christmas Eve, she is visited by three spirits. The ghosts' revelations have stirred her conscience but she wants more than a change in herself, she also wants a change for all women.

Her journey highlights the enduring strength of women in the face of challenges and strange spirits that visit her on a very special Christmas Eve.
