NOTES Adult language and content
A contemporary gay re-telling of the Dickens classic that delves into the downward spiral of Ben Scrooge and Jake Marley, who were partners in life as well as in their interior design business. With Marilyn Monroe as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Bob Cratchit's partner Tim living with HIV, there are twists aplenty. And yet, this honest and moving adaptation remains surprisingly faithful to the spirit of the original with its sense of wonder and Christmas spirit.

"A reason not to pass up the fruitcake this holiday season! A realistic and sensitive depiction of gay life that honors Dickens' message of love, goodwill and charity. It's welcome entertainment for anyone who just can't sit through another airing of A Christmas Story or It's a Wonderful Life!"
--Adrienne Onofri, CurtainUp
