"With her husband, Ebenezer, now "doornail dead," the coldest Christmas Eve on record finds Mrs. Scrooge outside the supermarket, protesting consumerism and waste. "Spoilsport!" shout the passersby as they load up their shopping carts with Christmas goodies. Just as Ebenezer did, Mrs. Scrooge keeps to her frugal ways ... but in the present economy, with loads of meaningless material goods bought on credit, maybe Mrs. Scrooge has the right idea." "That night, alone in her bed with Catchit the cat beside her, Mrs. Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. As each in succession takes her by the hand and sweeps through the scenes of her life, Mrs. Scrooge learns not only what the "Christmas Spirit" really means, but the nature of the real gifts we give and receive." --Book Jacket.
Eleanor Scrooge finally has it all. Why then is she so dissatisfied? In fleeing her abusive childhood, she left behind the only man she'd ever loved--Bob Rachette. Years later, Eleanor's no-nonsense approach to her successful business alienates everyone... including Bob. Widower Bob Rachette feels responsible for Eleanor. But when Eleanor insists her business come before his family, Bob puts his foot down... and loses his job. Meanwhile, an accident forces Eleanor to reexamine her life, her priorities, and the love she gave up. Can the Lord use Faith, Hope, and Charity to break through her heart of stone? Or will this Christmas be like all the others in Eleanor Scrooge's life--a Bah Humbug?
From one of theater’s most outrageous comic talents, two plays—one a Pulitzer Prize in Drama finalist, the other a twisted take on Christmas classics. In this book, Christopher Durang, the criminally funny author of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You, presents two plays about death, religion, and a creamy Christmas pudding. In Miss Witherspoon—named one of the Ten Best Plays of 2005 by both Time and Newsday—Veronica, a recent suicide whose cantankerous attitude has not improved in the afterlife, discovers that the one thing worse than the world she left behind is having to go back for seconds. Ordered to cleanse her “brown tweedy aura,” Veronica resists being reincarnated (as a trailer-trash teen or an overexcited Golden Retriever), only to find that she may be mankind’s last, best hope for survival. In Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge, a sassy ghost once again attempts to shake Scrooge from his holiday humbug, but the whole family-friendly affair is deliciously derailed by Mrs. Cratchit’s drunken insistence on stepping out of her miserable, treacly role. Morals are subverted, starving yet plucky children sing carols, and somebody’s goose is cooked as Durang lovingly skewers A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life, and many more to create a brand-new, cracked Christmas classic.
Charles Dickens's holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, is given a fresh twist—with a female Scrooge! Rod Espinosa (The Courageous Princess) adapts and illustrates this story of the miserly Eliza Scrooge, who is visited by the ghosts of the past, present, and future on one fateful Christmas eve.
It's been six generations since the Scrooge Family had a truly evil member. Ebenezer is dead and buried, or so everyone thinks. Death thinks differently. The spirits of Christmas managed to extract the goodness buried deep inside Ebenezer, changing him to a kind and generous man to the end of his days. The Scrooges have continued to flourish down through the years, exuding kindness and happiness until the present day. Arthur and Natalie Scrooge had no inkling when they were blessed with the arrival of their daughter Edwina, or the distress their daughter would inflict upon them in the years to come. It was as if a dark family secret, resurrected from the past had created an hereditary fault in her DNA. Driven from an early age by greed and spite, Edwina quickly began to exhibit her ancestral uncle's former wicked ways. As she grew up, Edwina soon became well acquainted with the other dubious characters who dwelt in London's murky east end. years of scheming, swindling, moneylending and underworld dealings led to the culmination of her involvement in the disastrous north pole caper which saw her flee from Santa's toy factory, pursued by a herd of stampeding reindeer. Laying low back in Ebenezer's old counting house in Cornhill, Edwina is desperate for ideas to make a quick profit to save her from her murderous creditors. She seeks out Ebenezer's grave for inspiration and is alarmed to be confronted by Death, who is watching over him. despite her distress she learns about Ebenezer's hidden fortune. Meanwhile far away in an orphanage in Canada, Edwina's long lost cousin Olive is embarking on a journey of her own. With the help of her guardian Margaret she sets up a non-profit foundation and begins to be the voice and campaigner for the world's poor and oppressed. As she sets out to cross the Atlantic single handedly from New York to London in a small yacht, Edwina hits on a plan for a credit card scam and, having found Ebenezer's hidden fortune calls a meeting of fellow villains to discuss her plan. Unfortunately for her Mr Tchort the devil by another name, finds out and muscles in on the deal. Olive is tasked with rescuing Edwina from herself by her parents and with a party of her supporters, they band together to do battle with the forces of evil. There are demons and dead people. Beautiful goddesses and Dickensian characters who's bloodline has continued through the generations and still belong within the very fabric of London's east end. Will Olive save Edwina? who will be there to save Olive?
