A Dickens Carol re-imagines the story of Scrooge from Dickens’ point of view. It’s 1842 Victorian London, and Dickens has become embittered toward life. In a way, he has become a bit of a Scrooge, a character he has yet to even create! But on a cold Christmas Eve, his fortunes take a turn when a train crash sends Dickens into the icy Kent river. There, he is visited by three spirits who lead him on a journey that transforms his life and inspires him to write his most celebrated work ever.
