Description Transposes the story to present-day Auckland and returns us to the overtly political concerns that fuelled Dickens' original telling of the story. Scrooge emerges with laptop in hand, firing off emails and spouting the dogma of neo- conservatism. … The play invites us to forsake greed and re-establish the bonds of community that have been shattered by decades of economic reform.
