Oh, but he was a squeezing, wrenching, scraping, grasping kind of a Scrooge; a clutching, covetous old sinner... Using only Charles Dickens\' extraordinary words and a chameleon ensemble of eight actors, Neil Bartlett\'s \'A Christmas Carol\' is a bold theatrical reimagining of a classic christmas story. This stage version was adapted for the festive season of 2002-3, and played to full houses and critical acclaim at both the Lyric Hammersmith, London, and the Citizens\' Theatre, Glasgow.
