SCROOGE CEO

The Root of all evil

Pelican Theatre Company presents a striking and provocative contemporary version of "A Christmas Carol", with Scrooge now the CEO of a major investment company involved in unethical practices.

The story of Scrooge and his visitation by three "spirits" is placed in the world of contemporary 21st century investment. But it is also a personal story of the Cratchit family and their son, Tim, who is dying of AIDS.

This is a production sure to make its audience think as much as be entertained.

The show is directed by Edwin Creely. If you want to see cutting edge theatre on the Peninsula then come and see this show, performed by a highly talented local cast.
