A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol
Audiences watch the Feddington Players broadcast their contemporary take on Dickens' classic tale from a studio in Newark, New Jersey. The live radio broadcast descends into comedic mayhem with noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, and the over-the-top antics of actor William St. Claire. As his foibles mount, the performance moves toward a heart-wrenching climax as St. Claire connects his own life to the Dickens story.
