The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge

 It’s one year after his miraculous transformation and Ebenezer Scrooge is back to his old ways. He is suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The ghosts employ Solomon Rothschild, England’s most charismatic, savvy and clever barrister. Scrooge, that old penny-pincher, represents himself. Various witnesses are called to the stand and each contributes pieces of the story which Scrooge promptly contradicts. When his old fiancée Belle takes the stand, she forces Scrooge to face the mistakes of his past where he chose money over happiness. In the end, Scrooge has a change of heart … but until then, comedy reigns in this court room!
