Plot
- Stave 1: Marley died on Christmas Eve and was Scrooge's Business Partner. Scrooge is wealthy and ignorant and has a nephew Fred. Fred visits Scrooge in his counting house asking if he wanted to come and have Christmas Dinner with him; Scrooge refuses. Two portly gentlemen visit Scrooge asking for a donation to help the poor; Scrooge refuses. When Scrooge goes home he encounters Marley as a ghost and Marley tells Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits to change his ways.
- Stave 2: Scrooge is visited by The Ghost of Christmas Past. The spirit shows Scrooge his past when he was a boy at school. Scrooge is seen to be lonely and isolated from his family. However, Fan (His sister) visits him and tells Young Scrooge he can come home. Then we see Young Scrooge, older, working for Fezziwig where Young Scrooge falls in love with Belle. Young Scrooge then becomes lonely again because Belle left him because of his ignorance towards wealth and power.
- Stave 3: Scrooge is visited by The Ghost of Christmas Present. The spirit shows Scrooge all the poverty happening around him (Lighthouse, Bleak Moors, Mines, Fisherman out at sea). Then he is shown the Cratchit's house and they are having Christmas Dinner. Scrooge sees Tiny Tim for the first time and his condition and is told Tiny Tim would die if nothing changes. The Cratchit family (mainly Bob) thanks Scrooge for everything they have. Scrooge is then shown Fred and his Christmas Dinner. They are playing games and are happy. They make fun of Scrooge but Fred says there is still a Christmas spirit in him. The Ghost of Christmas Present then starts to die and shows Scrooge ignorance and want, and to be most afraid of ignorance because it leads to want. The spirit then dies.
- Stave 4: Scrooge is visited by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge sees three business men, that he used to do business with, talking about a funeral and that they would only go if there was free food. Scrooge is unaware at this point they are talking about his funeral. Then Scrooge is shown Old Joe's shop and three people that are selling items that belonged to Scrooge - Undertakers assistant, A Charwoman and Mrs Dilber - Laundress. Scrooge is then shown two people who owed him money and that they were happy Scrooge was dead. Then, the Cratchits are shown to be mourning over Tiny Tim's Death - Scrooge is upset about this. Finally, Scrooge is shown a grave, which has his name on it. He was shocked and now knows everything that just happened was all about him and his death.
- Stave 5: Scrooge finally wakes up on Christmas Morning and is seen to be happy. He sends a turkey to the Cratchit's house and ends up being nice to everyone he sees. He then encounters one of the portly gentlemen, seen in Stave 1. He gives a donation to the poor and feels happy about it. The next day arrives and Bob Cratchit arrives at Scrooge's Counting house and is given a pay rise by Scrooge. Later, Tiny Tim is shown to be with Scrooge and they are both embracing the Christmas Spirit.
