The Wilton Playshop is staging a fantastic one-man adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The timeless tale of redemption and hope tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a greedy miser who hates Christmas. He is transformed into a caring, kindly person when visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve: Jacob Marley, and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Patrick Spadaccino, who both adapted the show and performs it, plays twenty-five different roles in the ninety-minute performance and brings each character to life!
Mr. Spadaccino says, “I especially resonate with the grim lessons Jacob Marley learned—alas, too late: that people, working kindly in their various spheres of influence, can have an extraordinarily positive impact on the world around them. Marley added that no amount of regret can make amends for lost opportunities. Being helpful and kind to those around us while making the most of every chance to do good are concepts that are just as relevant today as they were when “A Christmas Carol” was written.”
