Акт 1
Сцена условно разделена на две части. Правая часть - это улица.
В левой части стоит стол, за которым сидит Ебенизер Скрудж.
На столе счеты, бумаги. Он что-то считает и пишет гусиным пером.
Входит его племянник. Он радостен.
Nephew: ’Good morning. Merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!
Scrooge: ‘Humbug! Merry Christmas! You have no right to be merry. You are poor.’
Nephew: ’I am poor but I am a happy man because I am married to a woman whom I love’.
Scrooge: ‘Love is even sillier than a Merry Christmas.”
Nephew: ‘Uncle, we would like to invite you to have Christmas dinner together with our family’
Scrooge: ‘I don’t want to hear about it. Good bye’
Племянник уходит.
Раздается стук в дверь, входит джентльмен, который собирает деньги для бедных.
Gentleman: “Good afternoon, Mr Scrooge. We are collecting money for poor people. Thousands of people are in need of simplest things, even food and clothes.
Scrooge, “ Poor people’s place are in prison and work houses. Go out!”
Gentleman: ‘But Mr Scrooge…’
Scrooge: ‘I don’t give money for charity. Go away!’
В это время на улице два мальчика играют в снежки и поют песню Jingle Bells. Скрудж выходит из себя и выбегает на улицу с линейкой в руке, чем пугает мальчиков.
Затем закрывает офис (занавес) и идет домой.
Акт 2
Дом Скруджа. Перед занавесью стоит камин, кресло с пледом, тапочки под креслом
Скрудж переодевается в халат, тапочки, шапочку, садится в кресло и скупо ужинает. В это время раздается сильный стук, звон цепей, тяжелые шаги. Из-за занавеса появляется окованный цепями призрак его ныне покойного компаньона Марлей.
Scrooge: ‘Who are you?’
Marley: ‘I am Marley’
Scrooge, “Why do you trouble me?”
Marley, “I was very selfish when I was alive. I was only interested in money and did not care about people outside my office. Now I have no rest and no peace.”
Scrooge, “Why are you wearing this chain?”
Marley, “I wear the chain I made in life link by link. Do you know, Ebenezer Scrooge, the weight and length of the chain you wear yourself? I am here tonight to tell you that you have yet a chance and hope not to go my way. Tonight you will see Three Spirits. The first will come at one in the morning.”
C таким же шумом Марлей уходит.
Акт 3
Появляется Призрак Рождества Прошлого. Он в белом плаще и в серебристом парике
Scrooge: ‘Who are you?’
The Ghost of Christmas Past, “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past. I will show you your past. Come with me.’
Занавес открывается. На сцене маленький Эбенизер Скрудж и его сестра. Они инсценируют то, что говорит Призрак.
The Ghost of Christmas Past: ‘Look. This is the place you spend your childhood’
Scrooge: ‘I remember this place! That is my street!
The Ghost of Christmas Past: ‘Do you remember how lonely and unhappy you were once long ago when you were a schoolboy. Do you remember your kind sister who brought you home school on Christmas Eve many years ago? You were together and had the merriest time in the world/ You sister had a large and kind heart, but she was not very strong and died soon after she had a child - your nephew’.
Призрак исчезает. Скрудж падает на кресло и плачет.
Scrooge, ‘Oh, no, my lovely sister! I shouldn’t have forgotten you!’
Акт 4
Призрак Рождества Настоящего появляется весело, ярко, с рождественскими украшениями.
The Ghost of Christmas Present: ‘I am the Ghost of Christmas Present. I will take to your nephew’s house.
Занавес открывается. Дом племянника Скруджа. Его жена играет на пианино. Ее муж слушает. По окончании мелодии подносит ей бокал шампанского.
Nephew: ’Today I visited Uncle Scrooge. He is a funny old man and he isn’t very pleasant either. His money is of no use to him. He can’t do any good with it. But I can’t be angry with him. I am sorry for him. I’d like to drink to his health.
His wife: ‘A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old Man!
Nephew: ‘Merry Christmas to him!’
The Ghost of Christmas Present: ‘You have forgotten about your only nephew. But he still loves you!’
Scrooge: ‘I am so sorry’
Акт 5
Открывается занавес. В глубине сцены стоит высокий призрак в черном плаще с капюшоном, который полностью закрывает лицо.(Призрак стоит на стуле, плащ длиной до пола.) звучит мрачная мелодия. Призрак лишь показывает черной рукой на середину сцены, где стоит надгробная плита, на которой написано «Эбенизер Скрудж, дата смерти 25 декабря». Подходят два джентльмена.
Gentleman 1“Look, whose grave is it?”
Gentleman 2 “Oh, it’s Ebenezer Scrooge’s!”
Gentleman 1 “There are no flowers here, nobody comes to remember him!”
Gentleman 2 “No wonder, he was a bad, greedy man!”
Gentleman 1 “He doesn’t even love his only nephew!”
Скрудж падает на колени перед призраком.
Scrooge, “No, Spirit! Oh, no, no! I am not the man I was. Good Spirit, I’ll start a new life! I will keep Christmas in my heart all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. I will always remember this lesson. I promise.”
Участники спектакля выходят на авансцену и произносят следующие слова:
Ebenezer Scrooge kept his word: the very first thing he did was to send a huge turkey to Bob Cratchit’s house. Then he put on his best clothes and got out into the street. He smiled at everyone he met.
He met the gentleman who had walked into his office the day before, asking money for the poor. Scrooge gave him a lot of money.
In the afternoon Scrooge went to his nephew’s house. And that was wonderful. He felt at home in 5 minutes. Everybody was as happy as could be.
Scrooge did it all, and much more. And to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, as good a man, as the good old city new.
Ghosts did not visit him anymore, and people said that he knew how to keep Christmas better than anybody else. God bless us, Everyone!
