   Christmas Carol Sequels: Mister Scrooge to See You

   How does one continue the story of A Christmas Carol? It might seem a hard story to continue, but Salty Earth Pictures gave it a go in 2013. Scrooge (David Ruprecht) is transported into the future, where he must help a struggling diner owner who is fighting with a descendant of Bob Cratchit.

   The Very First Adaptations of A Christmas Carol

   Before there was film or TV, there were stage versions of A Christmas Carol, and the two I'm talking about today came out in 1844, just weeks after the book was first published. Clearly, this story was a hit right away. What did the very first adaptations of the story like? Full text of plays A Christmas Carol; Or, The Miser's Warning! by C.Z. Barnett (https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/41739/pg41739-images.html) A Christmas Carol; or, Past, Present, and Future, A Burletta in Three Staves by Edward Stirling (https://victorianweb.org/mt/adaptations/stirling2.html) Audio version of the Barnett play (https://youtu.be/mQ8YrpxFbk4?si=HdcPR57hZiIKn-BZ)
