  • Summary

  • Join us as we play the full 1938 Campbell Playhouse radio production of the Mercury Theater’s performance of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol".

    The radio play had booked Lionel Barrymore to play the main character of Scrooge but his health prevented him from traveling to NY so a 23 year old Orson Welles took the role instead.

    He was already the narrator as it was a Mercury Theater Production. The NY theater company was started in 1937 by Welles and John Houseman.

    Join us as we listen to a classic that is as relevant today as it has ever been.

    Happy Holidays to all of our listeners and supporters.
