Meg's husband has decided to escalate his one-man show of Dickens' A Christmas Carol into a full-scale production with a large cast including their sons Jamie and Josh as Tiny Tim and young Scrooge and Meg helping as stage manager. The show must go on, even if the famous—though slightly over-the-hill—actor who's come to town to play the starring role of Scrooge has brought a sleigh-load of baggage and enemies with him. And why is Caerphilly suddenly overrun with a surplus of beautiful caged finches? How the Finch Stole Christmas! is guaranteed to put the "ho ho hos" into the holidays of cozy lovers everywhere with its gut-bustingly funny mystery.

Sophie and Cressida are best friends. They love acting and set up their very own club, the Daisy Drama Club. Their first play is Dickens’s 'A Christmas Carol' - but where can they perform? Inspiration strikes and the girls clear out loads of old junk to turn an ancient barn into The Barn Theatre. Rehearsals go well to begin with. Beaky writes the script with help from Grandpa Albert, Lou makes costumes, Susie tries desperately hard to learn her lines, Abby tries to keep her cheeky pony under control - but when real ghosts spook the cast, chaos and calamity follow. Who has stolen Farmer Bagwash's ladder?  Why has Lollipop the sheepdog turned pink? Is The Barn Theatre really haunted? A funny, delightful adventure which captures the thrill and unexpected challenges of putting on a play!

Scrooge was probably grumpy because ghosts kept waking him up while he was trying to get some shut eye! Dress up as your favorite Dickensian curmudgeon in this Scrooge Nightshirt. This striped nightgown comes with a matching cap. The cane and slippers pictured here are not included.

Scrooge was designed as a follow-up to 1968's Oliver, the Oscar-winning musicalization of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The umpteenth musical version of Dickens' 1843 novelette A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is blessed with several sprightly Leslie Bricusse songs, including the bonafide hit Thank You Very Much. Once more buried under mounds of latex, Albert Finney is perfection itself as Ebeneezer Scrooge, proving as effective as a young (un-made up) man as the old skinflint we've grown to love. The Three Ghosts who turn the miserly Scrooge's life around on Christmas Eve are portrayed by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Yet to Come). Our favorite among the huge, predominantly British supporting cast is Sir Alec Guinness as a fussy, slightly effeminate Marley's Ghost. Best of all, Finney performs his many songs "live" and not lip-synched to a pre-recording. Though it is overproduced to the hilt, and its Technicolor photography tends to induce eyestrain, Scrooge is more than satisfactory Yuletide entertainment.
