Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge at ONSTAGE in Bedford

In this outrageous departure from the Dickens classic, an inept Ghost tries to shepherd Scrooge through his past, present and future, but due to magical malfunctions gets lost along the way. However, it’s Mrs. Bob Cratchit, a minor character in the Dickens, who takes center stage here. She’s fed up with husband’s penchant for bringing home foundlings — 20 live in the root cellar — and is sick of whiny Tiny Tim. She wants nothing more than to get drunk and jump off London Bridge. The answer to all of her problems may lie in her ability to hear the time-hopping Ghost and Scrooge. This zany romp is packed full of characters from other Dickens stories along with movies and TV shows and some real-world personalities, too!
