A Christmas Carol


Patrick Steward delivers a nuanced portrayal of Scrooge in this faithful adaptation. Much of the dialog came verbatim from Dickens’s original, and the costumers paid careful tribute to John Leech’s original illustrations. —Michael Main
Scrooge: Is there no chance that boy will be spared?

Dressed in a black Victorian tophat, black coat, and black gloves, Patrick
                Stewart (as Scrooge) raises his cane as if to strike.
