在这部圣诞颂歌剧情/恐怖片中,2018年圣诞档期,BBC播出的独角戏剧《圣诞颂歌》,老戏骨Simon Callow和导演Tom Cairns合作,将狄更斯关于圣诞和幽灵的经典故事,以朗诵加表演的形式拍摄。
Ebeneezer Scrooge, the miserly owner of an old counting house, is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, on Christmas Eve. Marley warns Scrooge he is doomed in the afterlife unless he pays heed and learns from three ghosts who will visit him during the night. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come show Scrooge how his mean, uncaring behavior has oppressed those around him as they visit episodes from his past, his present and his future life. By the end Scrooge is humbled and redeemed and transforms into a generous, kind-hearted man.
