		Scrooge asked the question, because he didn't know whether a ghost so transparent might find himself in a condition to take a chair; and felt that in the event of its being impossible, it might involve the necessity of an embarrassing explanation.
		Scrooge could not feel it himself, but this was clearly the case; for though the Ghost sat perfectly motionless, its hair, and skirts, and tassels, were still agitated as by the hot vapour from an oven.

		The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge is a twisted tale of Christmas that features Scrooge and the Ghosts of Marley, Past, Present and Future one year later - this time in a courtroom where Scrooge has charged the miscreant spirits with kidnapping, assault and battery.

		Scrooge seems to have reverted to his natural tricks and has brought forth charges against Marley and the ghosts for breaking and entering, trespassing, stalking, slander, theft, kidnapping, attempted murder, pain and suffering, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

	Ebenezer Scrooge at Christmas 1998
		"It could always be said of Ebenezer Scrooge that he knew how to keep Christmas well if any man possessed the knowledge."

	DVD Verdict Review - Scrooge
		While Scrooge seems to hate all of life in general, there is no more wretched a time for him than Christmas, a season of good cheer and generosity.
		Scrooge is shocked to find himself visited by the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, who warns the villain of his vainglorious ways.
		Marley further condemns Scrooge to be visited by three other spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Be—to show Ebenezer that only by allowing the festiveness of the feast into his soul will he be able to avoid a horrible fate, both in this world and in the hereafter.

		Even as the old crone called out to Scrooge, promoting his salvation, others--gentlemen solicitors and barristers called to the bar, gentlemen who sat in judgment of their fellow beings--decried his generosity, fearing his was just the weakness that would assure the decline of the British Empire.
		Scrooge, lurking in the shadows in order to remain unseen, contented himself by listening to an exchange between a few hoary gentlemen who stood in the pub's doorway, arguing the precepts of their religion.

	The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge: A Review
		Scrooge, ever the penny-pincher, is representing himself, while the defendants have engaged the unctuous services of Solomon Rothschild, a silver-tongued advocate with enough oiliness to fuel a second Hannukah miracle.
		Brown’s Scrooge uses little plot inconsistencies in the Dicken’s version to telling effect when cross-examining his Christmas-eve tormentors, and the script allows us to flatter our intelligence as we laugh knowingly at gags that depend on our utter familiarity with this oft-told tale.
		Philip Nolen is a terrific Scrooge and J.D. Sutton doubles admirably as the Stan Laurel-esque Bob Cratchit and the tormented soul of Marley.

		Scrooge discovers during the ghosts’ visits that his piles of wealth are valueless to him if all he ever does is pile up more.

		Among them are Scrooge's nephew, Fred, and the three men who show up early in the story attempting to solicit a contribution for the needy from an unregenerate Scrooge.
		Indeed, Ebenezer Scrooge was right in the first place, when he looked to government, to the use of tax money and public resources as the appropriate response to social and economic injustice and inequity.
		For, in truth, Ebenezer Scrooge was right--each of us must give what we can to make the world brighter, but that will never be enough until we are willing to move beyond a personal commitment to a social and political commitment.

	This 'Scrooge' is superb
		Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser who learns the meaning of charity one Christmas Eve.
		As fantastic as Scrooge's conversion may be, Long is always believable and often laugh-out-loud funny, particularly when he shrieks and shakes his cane at his numerous debtors, whether or not they can hear him.
		Scrooge may dominate the stage, but Steve Dietrich is suitably subdued as his unfortunate employee, Bob Cratchit, and Connor J. Pierce is precociously plucky as Bob's hobbled son, Tiny Tim.

	Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - The Last Christmas of Ebenezer Scrooge - 11/27/04
		Kaye’s The Last Christmas of Ebenezer Scrooge speculates as to how Scrooge lived out the remainder of his days, and whether his late repentance and generous good deeds are truly enough to gain his entrance into heaven.
		Scrooge dispatches himself onto a series of good deed journeys after he experiences trouble sleeping, convinced that revisiting his past and finding even more people to help will stave off the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (who makes a guest appearance).
		The Last Christmas of Ebenezer Scrooge is certainly another charming example of holiday fare, but its rambling plot and unexplained conveniences, not to mention the overextended final sequence in heaven, keep it from achieving classic status.
