On December 19th Maryland Stage Co. put on an outstanding performance of the Christmas Carol. It was based on the original story by Charles Dickens.
In the beginning it introduced Scrooge and how he treated people. It showed how he treated his nephew Fred and his employee Bob Cratchit. Scrooge did not treat the very well. Then Jacob Marley’s ghost warns Scrooge about three spirits that will come and haunt him. This is the main conflict. Then the climax is when the ghost of Christmas yet to come shows Scrooge his grave. The resolution is when Scrooge changes. He starts being nicer to people and he gives Cratchits family a turkey.
The theme if this story is that you should have Christmas spirit. Also to be thankful for what you have. Another thing is to be greedy and spend time with your family.
My opinion of the play is I thought it was a lot like the book. I thought it was very life like. It explained what was going on. When I saw it was in the story. I really enjoyed the props in the performance. I thought it was very entertaining. Also there were ome funny parts in mthe show. All in all, I thought it was very good
