A Dixie Christmas Carol
From Orson Scott Card Wiki
A play by Orson Scott Card
The following content is posted on Hatrack. Orson Scott Card describes the development of A Dixie Christmas Carol.
"What I'm offering visitors to Hatrack River this Christmas season is a play, adapted from Dickens's classic, and available for private reading, either silently or in groups, as you desire.
I created this adaptation many years ago when I was trying to make a go of a theatre company at The Barn in Provo, Utah. All the existing scripts of A Christmas Carol were expensive and slow, since they required set and costume changes. I thought it could be done better and faster and, yes, cheaper -- so I wrote my own script."

[edit] FOOTNOTE
- However, this does not include permission to mount a production of the play before an audience. For that permission would have to be obtained, and royalties paid. If you are interested in a full production, whether amateur or professional, for a paying audience or free admission, contact us to inquire about acquiring performance rights. Remember that while Dickens's story is in the public domain, this adaptation is not.
