Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol

Readers Theatre Studio Series - Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol

By: Tom Mula

What happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after the original story ends? Chained and shackled, Jacob Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work. Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: to escape his own chains, he must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened, but not before Marley – in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story – discovers his own.
