About
Step back in time to Christmas Eve, 1943, for a unique live radio play adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol.' The Feddington Players present their energetic take on the classic tale from a bustling Newark studio. Expect delightful mayhem, from missed cues to electrical blackouts, all leading to a surprisingly emotional climax as a veteran actor finds parallels between his own life and Scrooge's journey. This production cleverly reimagines the story with a film noir twist, featuring a detective, a femme fatale, and a daring rescue.
