Going home to Caerphilly for the holidays, Meg Langslow's husband has decided to escalate his one-man show of Dickens' A Christmas Carol into a full-scale production with a large cast including their sons Jamie and Josh as Tiny Tim and young Scrooge and Meg helping as stage manager. Following Gone Gull, this wry 23rd outing proves that the show must go on, even if the famous—though slightly over-the-hill—actor who's come to town to play the role of Scrooge has brought a sleigh-load of baggage and enemies with him. Meanwhile, why is Caerphilly suddenly overrun with a surplus of beautiful caged finches?
