Twisting Carol

Synopsis: In this twisted riff on the holiday classic, Scrooge is so miserly and self-centered that he hasn't even noticed his dead partner Marley's corpse is stuck on the roof and causing a stink. But then Marley's ghost arrives (mistaking himself for the reggae icon, dreadlocks and all); he warns that Scrooge will be visited by three spirits, but doesn't mention that they'll be an aerobics instructor, a guy named Bob, and a flasher. Along with Short Tim (he was tired of the "tiny" label), the spirits warm Scrooge's heart, and he embraces the true meaning of Christmas. Too bad Marley's still stranded on the roof...

Notes: Minimal technical requirements and a cast size that can range from 8 to more than 30, gender flexible.
