In this radio play adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic novel, we travel to New York City during the 1929 Christmas season. Ebenezer Scrooge is a cynical old curmudgeon with little patience for the holiday cheer all around him. After a Christmas Eve visit from several spirits takes him to a bustling Italian neighborhood, a speakeasy, the docks, and the homes of coworkers and family, Scrooge must confront his own beliefs and isolationism, and discover for himself the true meaning of the holidays.
