Episode 1: A Visit from an Old Friend

A Christmas Carol: Radio Play

Meet Ebeneezer Scrooge, a miserly, cold-hearted businessman who despises Christmas and human compassion. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who has been condemned to wander the Earth in chains as punishment for his greed and selfishness during life. Marley warns Scrooge that he faces a similar fate unless he changes his ways, and that he will be visited by three spirits: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
