Breakdown
Bob Cratchit:
30s. Male. Scrooge’s clerk, a family man. Scrooge has worked Cratchit to the bone, but his joy for life and affection for his family remain untouched. Despite his difficult existence, he is still filled with hope and humor. Though he worries about how to put food on the table, he somehow always finds a way to provide treats for his children. He is shattered when Tiny Tim dies and try as he might, his sorrow is impossible to hide from his other children. Any ethnicity.
Mrs. Dilber:
30s-early 50s. Scrooge’s dedicated and dithering servant. Working class British. Quirky and funny – but with great pathos. She has always gotten Christmas Day off but, for some reason, tonight her boss is sterner and crabbier than ever. At the end of the play, the first to witness it, she is profoundly touched by Scrooge’s transformation. A character woman. Comedienne with heart. Any ethnicity.
Mr. Fezziwig/Old Joe:
Late 40s-50s. Character man. Fezziwig: Young Scrooge and Marley’s boss, generous and expansive and giddily in love with his wife. Fezziwig is a kind hearted and jolly man, but not a fool. He has great integrity and refuses to sell out to Scrooge and Marley. Old Joe: Cockney Pawnshop dealer who trades in stolen goods – mostly from dead people. Witty, dark and devious, Joe is a distant relative of Dickens’ Fagin and has a bawdy sense of humor. He will take no nonsense from anyone, unless he’s dealing it out first. A shrewd negotiator - until a glimpse of cleavage is involved – or when faced with the child-like beauty of a music box. Any Ethnicity.
Christmas Present:
30s. Female. African American. Infectious spirit and warmth. Must have a powerful presence, sense of humor, wit, and mischief, and a fabulous laugh to boot. She has an implicit understanding of right and wrong and is not afraid to let Scrooge know it. Maternal and earthy, she is powerful enough to make Scrooge fly, yet gentle enough to guide him at just the right speed towards his transformation.
