About the play: It’s the Golden Age of Radio, and a local radio station celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the publication of Dickens’ beloved classic A Christmas Carol with a live broadcast. In this brand-new adaptation by Lunchbox Artistic Director Bronwyn Steinberg, three multi-talented actors take on the story’s iconic characters while also creating the foley sound effects live on stage. Ebenezer Scrooge’s Christmas Eve journey takes him through his past, present and future towards reinventing himself as a better person. Since 1843, this story has brought light, hope and holiday cheer to readers and audiences worldwide. Setting the play’s radio broadcast of this classic tale in 1943 underscores the need for generosity of spirit and light in dark times.
