Perhaps the most famous Christmas story of all is presented in a new theatrical adaptation of Ektoras Lygizos. Using the group narrative of a young ensemble, fast and spectacular action, sense of humor, and music and songs as his primary tools, Lygizos will be reviving on stage the emotional and moral turnabout of one of the most enjoyable misanthropes of world literature.
Ebenezer Scrooge, an incurable miser and a hard-hearted usurer, has been living closed off for years, nursing hatred for people - and especially for Christmas! But this year's holiday is different: On Christmas Eve, he is visited successively by a ghost from the past and three spirits, who take him along on a fascinating journey through time that will bring him back in touch with the lost feelings of joy and love.
