Tom Chaney: Christmas at the Theatre Of Writers And Their Books: Christmas at the Theatre. The lesson of redemption possible in a dark and troubled soul and world is often told at Christmas in Dickens’ classic but needs are always around us. Tom discusses a version of “A Christmas Carol” from 2006 he particularly liked. This column first appeared 25 November 2007. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Roma: from salt makers to the Ides of March By Tom Chaney Christmas at the Theatre Last year I did penance for reviling continuous productions of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." My reaction to that old saw had devolved into a fond hope that Ebenezer Scrooge will fail to be converted, that Tiny Tim will be run over by a stray reindeer, and that the nephew Fred will give a party to which no one will come. I had begun to hope that old Ebenezer would swill a dose of Pepto Bismol instead of quaffing an unbelievable draft of the milk of human kindness and sleep dreamless through the night of spirits, sacking Bob Cratchit if he is a minute late for work on December 26.
