Audition - Mrs Bob Cratchits Wild Christmas Binge A Comedy by Christopher Durang November 27, 2008

Ebenezer Scrooge never went on a Christmas Eve journey like this, as the Ghost of Christmas Past’s incompetence brings Mrs. Bob Cratchit, a minor character in the Dickens tale, to center stage. As the ghost loses more control, the plot morphs into parodies of Oliver Twist, “The Gift of the Magi,” and It’s a Wonderful Life, among others. By play’s end, the traditional tale of Scrooge’s redemption and gentle grace is placed squarely on its head.
