A Ghost of Christmas Past, a new femme-forward adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol
A festive ghost story and cautionary tale, Fan, Scrooge’s often forgotten younger sister, takes center stage as the feminine and ethereal guide to restore balance in the unbalanced world and heart of Ebenezer Scrooge. Fan illuminates the notion that our individual and prime responsibility as humans is to examine how our inner phantoms, our histories, our words, and our actions affect those around us.
