"Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was? Impossible!" Thus begins Jacob Marley's frightening, funny, smart and ultimately exhiirating journey to redemption. Marley is trapped in a desolate post mortem neitherworld, fettered with the chains of greed and envy he forged in life. Relying on the power of his own imagination, and with the assistance of a personal 'hell-sprite', Marley can only secure his release by personally stage managing the redemption of his business partner, Ebeneezer Scrooge. Along the way, Marley and the audience are confronted with profound questions about the interplay of love, forbearance and imagination in our own lives. Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol played for two seasons at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. The show was nominated for four Joseph Jefferson Awards, and received an After Dark Award and the Goodman School of Drama's Cunningham Prize for Playwriting. The play has since been performed to rave reviews and standing ovations in theatres across the country, including: Cincinnati Shakespeare, American Stage Festival, Delaware Rep, Bristol Riverside Theatre, Stages Repertory in Houston, North Coast Rep, Third Avenue Playhouse, Sage Theatre Group, and the 1894 Opera House. For seven seasons, it has been broadcast nationally on NPR.
