We present a Storynory Pantomime – A dramatic audio presentation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens adapted by Mike Betteridge of The Working Space Theatre Company.

Illustrations by John Leech from first edition of 1843 are here.

If you are interested in the text of the original story, you can read it here.

He was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching covetous old sinner! Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks, My dear Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me? Even dogs appeared to know him, and then they saw him, would tug their owners into doorways and up courts.

Once upon a time – of all the good days in the year, on Christmas Eve – old Scrooge sat busy in his counting-house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather, foggy withal. And he could hear people in the court outside, go wheezing up and down.

A Merry Christmas uncle! God save you! cried a cheerful voice.

Bah! said Scrooge. Humbug! If I could work my will, every idiot with Merry Christmas on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.

Bertie and Storynory are pleased to present their first mini-play. Natasha plays many parts, including several ghosts who come to haunt the old miser Scrooge. She is joined by Robert Maloney, who peforms as Scrooge with a wonderful snarling voice .Natasha and Rob who acted these roles in the Winter of 05 for Working Space Theatre which tours primary schools. We use this wonderful adaptation by kind permission of its author, Mike Betteridge.

  • Natasha says:

    Hello

    Thanks for your comment. Scrooge is not a good character at the beginning of the story. He still holds the bad ways of his past partner in Marley, who’s face is engraved on the door handle of his Victorian office. Despite the dark undertones this is is a fun story.

    Bye Bye

    Hello

    Weldone. The Christmas Carol is a great story to make into a performance. And the Character of scrooge is a difficult one to play as he is a miser.When scrooge is shown the error of his ways with the ghost of Christmas past, present and future he dances for joy around the town. So there is a dance here and Im sure all the towns folk dance with him

    Thanks for listening

    I liked this story because Scrooge becomes a much nicer man at the end of the story. It was really exciting and a little bit scary when the ghosts came to visit him. My favourite part is when Scrooge give Tiny Tim a gold coin.

  • john says:

    EXCELLENT!
    I really liked the characters because they were scary. The message of the story is that money isn’t the most important thing and that being rich isn’t everything.Be nice to others and share your money.

Please keep up the good work you are all wonderful people my children enact little plays to your stories and when they are just free playing I watch them staring off into some far away place full of adventure which is an A++ for there imaginations.

    Hi there

    I’m waiting for this to download as I type – school restrictions mean that I have to get someone in IT to do it for me. I’d like to use this with a class but I’d like them to be able to do some work on it so wondered if you had a document version of it. If not, do you have any objections to my creating a document by listening and typing it up? (Lots of work but hey!)

    I could even mail it back to you if you like!

    Many thanks
