A Christmas Carol was first published in 1843 and has proven itself to be a timeless tale of redemption, with a heartwarming message about what's important in life. 

To discuss the Garter Lane production, and the various interpretations of Scrooge over the years, Maria had a chat with Andrew Holden and Pádraig Ó Griofa on The Saturday Cafe.
