Astoria Readers Theatre presents Jacob Marley's Last Chance! A great new one one-act play by local playwright Rick Gray, directed by Susi Brown. Everyone knows “A Christmas Carol”. We meet the flinty old businessman, Ebenezer Scrooge, who receives – though he hardly welcomes – visits from four Ghosts, starting with his late partner, Jacob Marley. By the end of one eventful night, Scrooge has discovered the meaning of Christmas – and been transformed.
But how did Jacob Marley get permission to visit Scrooge, in the first place? Not exactly standard operating procedure in the Afterlife!
“Jacob Marley’s Last Chance” supplies an answer. A plan is hatched in the offices of St. Peter, just a few steps from the Pearly Gates. In addition to St. Peter, the plan involves his assistant, Angel Fan, and three theatrical angels – Robert Armin and Will Kempe (of the original Globe company) and Mrs. Sarah Siddons (perhaps the most famous Lady Macbeth of all time).
By the end of a hectic, improvised, and more than occasionally comic evening, more than one crusty old miser has seen things in a new light.
