‘A Christmas Carol’ never fails to move audiences, no matter the medium in which the story is told. It is a tale filled with hope and promise, reminding us that it is never too late to become our best selves. Dickens’ masterpiece charges us to recall that we are all responsible for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters—an idea which rings true now more than ever.
— Mark Shanahan, playwright
