In a world not unlike our own, pay-day loan shark Scrooge has discovered the perfect time to attract new and desperate customers - Christmas Day.
His team, led by Cratchit, are unhappy about their new working arrangements, but it seems nothing short of a miracle will stop the money-grabbing Scrooge. Until his late business partner pays him a virtual visit, triggering a night of events that will change his life.
This year, Belper Players took A Christmas Carol online. Blending Charles Dickens' words with updated characters and settings. Watch as this classic Christmas tale is played out on screen through video conferencing and intimate video chats. Not forgetting the ghosts in the machine.
