Marley's Ghost - Paperback

by Jeff Goode (Author)

Before Ebenezer Scrooge learned the true meaning of Christmas, another old miser was haunted by the ghosts of his past, present and future. What happened to Jacob Marley, in the seven years since his untimely death, that could convince him to sacrifice everything to save the one man he despises most? "... [a] rich new holiday confection, MARLEY'S GHOST. Jeff Goode's play is a smart, engaging prequel to A CHRISTMAS CAROL that stirs in some wicked whimsy a la Lewis Carroll and ultimately conveys the same inspirational message of hope and forgiveness as the original ... Theatergoers ... will witness a rather exquisite blend of foolery and feeling." -Los Angeles Times "... Jeff Goode's bizarre take on A Christmas Carol and a Dickens of an update it is ... The often tongue-in-cheek/often poignant slant on the holiday classic is ... enough to make this an annual event." -Backstage West
