Do opracowania scenariusza przedstawienia „Christmas carol” skłoniła mnie próżnia w tej sferze aktywności uczniów w naszej szkole. Z zebranych przeze mnie doświadczeń jako nauczyciela języka angielskiego wynika, że uczniowie lubią uczestniczyć w małych formach teatralnych, gdzie mogą wykazać się swoimi umiejętnościami aktorskimi, językowymi czy organizacyjnymi. Poza tym bardzo chętnie odgrywają różne role wcielając się w postacie ze sztuki. Myślę, że uczniowie wystawiający przedstawienie wynieśli olbrzymie korzyści, które w przyszłości zaowocują jeszcze większą motywacją do nauki języka angielskiego.

Z drugiej strony wiem, że widzowie bardzo chętnie oglądają wszelkiego rodzaju przedstawienia, zwłaszcza w wykonaniu swoich koleżanek i kolegów. Uważam, że obejrzenie przez uczniów przedstawienia w języku angielskim daje im doskonałą okazję, aby wypróbować swoje umiejętności językowe a także rozbudzić motywację do dalszej intensywniejszej pracy nad językiem. Jest to doskonała okazja, aby skonfrontować swoje umiejętności z umiejętnościami kolegów i koleżanek.
Niewątpliwym efektem będzie wzmocnienie poczucia własnej wartości zarówno u aktorów jak i u tych uczniów, którzy doskonale rozumieli dialogi w sztuce. Natomiast uczniowie, którzy nie rozumieli w pełni mogli wyciągnąć wnioski do pogłębienia znajomości języka angielskiego.
„Christmas carol” jest trudną do odegrania sztuką. Jednak wszystkie przedstawione przeze mnie zalety oraz przesłanie, jakie ze sobą niesie, sprawiają, że jest warto podjąć się trudu realizacji. Z pewnością jako przedstawienie o tematyce bożonarodzeniowej uatrakcyjni okres Świąt Bożego Narodzenia w szkole jak również, jako lektura w klasach gimnazjalnych, utrwali znajomość tej lektury wśród uczniów.

CHRISTMAS CAROL
Dickens is in his room, writing a novel.
Narrator: EBENEZER SCROOGE is a cross, miserable, mean old man. When his nephew visits him on Christmas Eve to wish him a merry Christmas, Scrooge is not at all pleased.
“Bah! Humbag!” he says. “Christmas is humbug! Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!”
Oh yes, Scooge is a hard, mean man. His clerk, Bob Cratchit, gets only fifteen shillings a week, and has to work in a cold little office, with a fire too small to warm even his toes.
But that Christmas Eve Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his long-dead partner, Jacob Marley. And after him come three more ghostly visitors… It is a long night, frightening night, and when Christmas Day finally arrives, Scrooge is a very different man indeed.

When his partner died, Scrooge continued with the business alone. Sometimes people who were new to the business called Scrooge Scrooge, and sometimes Marley, but he answered to both names. He did not care what name they called him. The only thing that mattered to him was the business and money, making money.
Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with a happy smile, “My dear Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me?” No poor man asked him for money, no children asked him the time, no man or woman ever, in his life, asked him the way.

Act I
Scrooge
Nephew
Gentelman1
Gentelman2
Bob
(One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge is working busily in his office. It is cold, thirsty, foggy weather. It is three o’clock in the afternoon, and there are candles in all the office windows.
Scrooge opens his office door open, in order to check that his clerk, Bob Cratchit, is working. Scrooge has a small fire, but Bob’s fire is much smaller. It is very cold and Bob has to wear a long white scarf to keep warm.
Nephew arrives.
N. ”Merry Christmas, uncle! God bless you!
S: Bah! Humbug!
N: “Christmas is humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, uncle?
S:I do. Why do you call it “merry” Christmas? You are too poor to be merry.
N: Well, why are you so cross? You are too rich to be unhappy.
S: Of course I am cross when I live in a world full of stupid people like you! You say “Merry Christmas”! But what is Christmas? Just a time when you spend too much money, when you find yourself a year older and not an hour richer, when you have to pay your bills. Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have their tongue cut out. Yes, they should.
N: Uncle! Please don’t say that! I’ve always thought of Christmas as time to be helpful and kind to other people. It’s the only time of the year when men and women open their hearts freely to each other. And so, uncle, although I’ve never made any money from it, I think Christmas has been and will be a good time for me! And I say, God bless Christmas!
B: That’s true, sir. Christmas is very special to all people all over the world. People wait 12 months to celebrate Christmas with their families and friends. Bob agrees loudly, without thinking but soon he realizes his mistake and goes back to his work, but Scrooge hears that.
S: If I hear another word from you, you will lose your job
N: Don’t be angry with him, uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.
S: Dinner? I’ll see you dead first!
N: But why won’t you come? Why?
S: Because Christmas is humbug! Good afternoon!
N: I want nothing from you. I ask nothing of you. Why can’t we be friends?
S: Good afternoon!
N: I am sorry, with all my heart, to find you like this. I have never wanted to argue with you. But I came to see you and invite you because it’s Christmas, and so I’ll say, a merry Christmas, uncle!
S: I said “Good afternoon”!
N: And a happy new year!
S: Good afternoon!
N. leaves the room without an angry word, stopping only to wish Bob a merry Christmas. Then two other gentlemen came in, round , comfortable-looking men, with books and papers in their hands.
G1: This is Scrooge and Marley’s, I think (looking in the papers). Am I speaking to Mr. Scrooge or Mr Marley?
G2: I’m sure you are just as kind to the poor as your partner.( smiling)
G1: At this happy time of year we should help poor people who have no food or clothes or homes.
S: Are there no prisons?
G1: Plenty of prisons.
S: And the workhouses, where poor people can live and work? Are they still open?
G2: Yes, they are, I’m sorry to say.
S: I’m happy to hear that. I thought, from what you said at first, that perhaps these useful places were closed, for some reason.
G1: But some of us feel, that these places don’t offer enough to poor people. We’re hoping to give some meat and drink, and wood for fire, to people who need all these things. This is a time when we should all be able to enjoy ourselves. How much will you give, sir?
S: Nothing! I don’t have a merry Christmas myself, and I won’t pay for other people to be merry. We all have to pay for prisons and workhouses- they cost enough. The poor will have to go there.
G2: Many can’t go there, and many prefer to die.
S: If they prefer to die, why don’t they die, then? There are too many people in the world, so it’s a good thing if some of them die. All this is none of my business! It’s enough for a man to understand his own business, and not to think about other people. I’m a very busy man, Good afternoon, gentlemen!
Men shake their heads and leave the office. S. is still working, pleased with himself. After some time S. gets up slowly from his desk. Bob immediately puts his hat.
S: You’ll want a holiday all day tomorrow, I suppose?
B: If you don’t mind, sir. I would like to stay with my family and enjoy Christmas with them
S: I do mind. It’s not fair. I have to pay you for a day’s work when you don’t do any work.
B: It’s only once a year, sir.
S: There is no reason for robbing me every 25th of December! But I suppose you must have it. Be here early next morning.
B: Yes, sir, I will, I promise. I will come to the office much earlier. You will not regret it. I will do everything what I have to do!
(They leave the office)
Narrator:
Scrooge always used to eat his dinner alone, in the same miserable little eating-house. Tonight was no different from other nights. He read the newspapers, looked at his bank books, and went home to bed. He lived in rooms which had once belonged to his dead partner. He hadn’t thought of his partner for seven years, until that afternoon, when he spoke his name to his visitors. But there in front of him was Marley’s face, white and ghostly, with terrible staring eyes.

He sits down and sees that the bell was slowly beginning to move from side to side. Then comes a strange noise like heavy chains. Marley’s ghost appears.

S: Well! What do you want?! And who are you?!
M: In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley.
S: It’s humbug! I tell you! There are no ghosts! ( the ghost gives a terrible cry) Yes! Yes! You are real! I see that now. Why have you come? Why do ghosts come back from the dead? Tell me Jacob!
M: The spirit of every man who does not help other people in life has to travel endlessly through the world after his death. We have to carry the chains that we made for ourselves in our lifetime. Do you, Ebenezer Scrooge, recognize my chain? It is very like the one you wear!
S: looks around him, but can see no chains.
S: Jacob tell me more!
M: I cannot help you much, Ebenezer! I cannot rest. I cannot stay anywhere for long I have been dead for 7 years and all that time I have been traveling on the wings of the wind! No peace, no rest, for me in death, because I was never good or kind in life!
S: But you were always a good man of business, Jacob.
M: Business! Why didn’t I think of people as my business? I thought only about making money, not about being kind and helpful to other people. Listen to me, Ebenezer! I am here tonight to warn you. You still have a chance to save yourself from what has happened to me. Three spirits will come to visit you: the first spirit will come tomorrow at one o’clock, the second at the same time the next night, and the third at midnight the following night, You will not see me any more, and for your own peace after death, remember what I have told you!
(M. walks slowly to the window, he hears sad crying. M. cries, too. S. runs to the window, closes it and goes to bed, without taking off clothes, and falls asleep.

ACT II THE FIRST OF THE THREE GHOSTS
Scrooge
Ghost I
(S. wakes up, the church clock strikes 1 time. He gets up, goes to the window, he is worried, goes to bed again, light shines.
A strange figure, half like a child, half like an old man, looked back at him. It had long, white hair, a short white robe, covered with flowers, a light on the top of its head, a hat under one arm.)
S: Who are you, sir?
G: I am the ghost of Christmas Past.
S: Do you mean long ago in the past?
G: No. Your past.
S: Spirit, please tell me why you are here.
G: I am here for your own good.
S: Thank you.
G: I am here to help you change your life! Watch and listen! (It holds Scrooge by his arm.) Get up and come with me!
(S. sees a country road…)
S: Good Heavens!(cries) I was born here! I remember it well!
G How strange that you’ve forgotten it for so many years! What is on your face! Are you crying?
S: (puts his hand over his eyes) It’s nothing- I’ve got a cold, that’s all. Take me where you want, spirit!
(They visit S’s school.)
G: Not everyone has left the school. There is one lonely child, whose friends have all gone.
S: I know! (he cries)
G: What’s the matter?
S: There was a boy singing Christmas carols at my door yesterday. I’m sorry I didn’t give him anything, that’s all.
G: Let’s see another past Christmas!
(S’ sister invites him to their house.)
G: What a worm heart she had!
S: Yes, you’re right, I agree with you, spirit!
G: She married and had children, before she died.
S: One child.
G: True, your nephew!
S: Yes.
(They are in the middle of a busy town, in front of an office door. They can see a man.).
G: Do you know this place, Scrooge?
S: I know it, I was a clerk here! Good heavens, it’s old Fezziwing! God bless him! Oh, that’s Dick Wilkins! He always liked me. Oh dear! Poor Dick! Spirit! Show me no more! Take me home! This is too painful! (cries)
G: these are shadows of the things that happened in the past. You chose the life that you preferred, so why do you cry now?
S:: I can’t watch any more! It’s too awful! Leave me alone, spirit!

ACT III THE SECOND OF THE THREE SPIRITS
Scrooge
Ghost II

(S. wakes up in his bed. The ghost wears a green robe, holds a torch. It sits next to the bed.)
G: I am the ghost of Christmas Present! Look at me!
S: Spirit, take me where you want. Last night I learned a lesson which is working now. If you have anything to teach me, let me learn from you.
G: Touch my robe! (Shines the torch) My torch gives a special taste to people’s dinner on this day. I use it most on poor people because poor people need it most.
(They see people having Christmas dinner, his nephew and his family having a good time)
G: My life in this world ends at midnight tonight. Listen! It’s a quarter to midnight now!


ACT IV THE LAST OF THE SPIRITS
Scrooge
Ghost II

(G. appears. It wears a black robe.)
S: Are you the spirit of Christmas Yet to Come? Are you going to show me shadows of the things which haven’t happened yet, but will happen in the future?
G: (no answer)
S: Ghost of the future! You frighten me very much, but I think you can help me to change my life. I’ll be grateful to you if you show me the future. Won’t you speak to me?
G: (no answer)
S: Show me the way, spirit! The night is passing, and time is valuable to me, I know.
(G. moves away with S., they see a dark room with a bed with no blankets or curtains. A light shines down from above, on to the body of a dead man, covered with a sheet.
S: How sad to die with no friends or family around him! To lie in an empty room, with no candles or flowers, robbed of his clothes. To know that nobody loves him, because he loved nobody in his life! Money can’t buy a happy life or a peaceful death! (he looks at the spirit, it points at the man’s covered head.) Spirit, let’s go! (G still points the man’s head.) I understand but I can’t look at him, spirit, I can’t! Spirit, I understand you will leave me soon. Tell me who that dead man on the bed was!
(No answer. They see S’s office, a church and churchyard, graves)
S: Before I look more closely at the gravestone, answer my question. Am I that man who was lying on the bed?
G. points from the grave to him, and back again.
S: No, spirit! Oh, no, no. (S. falls to the ground in front of the ghost, holding its robe.) Spirit! Listen! I am a changed man! I have learnt my lesson from you spirits! Why show me this terrible end if there is no hope for me! Good spirit, tell me that my future will change, if I change my life! I will remember the past and think of the future. I will be good to other people! I will keep Christmas in my heart, and I will try to be kind, and cheerful, and merry, every day. Oh, tell me I can clean away the writing on this stone!
ACT V END OF THIS STORY
Scrooge
Boy
S: A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy new year to everybody, to all the world! Hurray!(he asks a boy). What’s today?
Boy: Today? Why are you asking, sir? Everybody knows! It’s Christmas Day!
S: Do you know the meat shop at the corner of the street?
Boy: Of course I do. It’s the biggest shop in the town. I always stop there and look at the shop windows. They’ve got the biggest choice of food I’ve ever seen!
S: What an intelligent boy! Do you know if they have sold that turkey that was in the shop window yesterday?
Boy: What, the one as big as me?
S:: What a delightful boy! It’s wonderful talking to him. Yes, that’s the one!
Boy: It’s still there in the window.
S: Is it? Well, go and buy it.
Boy: You don’t mean it! It’s very big and very expensive. It costs a lot.
S: Yes, I do. I’m serious. Go and buy it, and tell the man to bring it back here. Come back and I I’ll give you a shilling. Come back in less than five minutes and I’ll give you three shillings! (S. is happy and smiling all the time. He wears his best clothes)
(The boy brings a huge turkey and S, gives him the money.)
(S. walks to his nephew, when he sees the two men who asked him for money for the poor. He goes up to, shakes their hands and says:
S: My dear sir, how are you? A merry Christmas to you, sir!
G Mr Scrooge?
S: Yes that’s my name. I” m very sorry, for what I said yesterday. Will you please-( he speaks very quietly in their ears.)
G: Good heavens! My dear Mr Scrooge, are you serious?
S: I am! Not a shilling less! I must tell you I haven’t given anything to anyone for years!
G: My dear sir, I don’t know how to thank you!
S: Don’t say anything, please. Will you come and see me tomorrow?
G: Yes, we will!
S: Thank you and God bless you! I must go, my nephew is waiting. It’s Christmas time.


Narrator: That’s the end of the story. S. was early at the office next morning. He wanted to catch Bob Cratchit arriving late. And he did. The clock struck 9. No Bob. A quarter past-no Bob He was 18 and a half minutes late when he finally hurried in. Bob was very sorry.
But this time it was different. S. wasn’t as sad as usual. This time he was cheerful and happy.
S: Hello! What do you mean to come so late?
B: I’m very sorry, sir. I am late but Christmas is only once a year. We were so merry yesterday, sir.
S: I’m not going to have this any longer! I’m going to pay you twice as much! Put more wood on the fire now. Merry Christmas!!!
Narrator: S. became good as a friend employer and man as anyone in the world. Some people laughed to see the change in him, but he did not care. His own heart laughed inside him, and it was very important to him.
Scrooge became a different man and he lived a happy life ever after.
THE END

All actors appear and sing a Christmas carol.
