Now that Christmas is less than 4 months away...?

Question

With pantomimes starting up who would you get to play the parts in 'A Christmas Carol'?. Who would be good at playing Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past? I can think of two people, one is living (someone in the Government) and the other is dead, well I hope he is and he took his shirts with him.

Answer 1

Priscilla 69: 2-1

For the freaks came forth and did declare that everything is evil and that all are sinners. Whenceforth cometh thou, freaky Officer? From under a rock somewhere in the Middle Ages?

Yes, it is indeed time to consider the putting up of the tree and the going to the pantomimes. Tis a shame Charlies gone, but sure he could probably come back as Tiny Tim's disease. Podge and Rodge would play Marley as a schizophrenic ghost and Cowen would have to be Scrooge.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is supposed to be a strange mixture of young and old, male and female and so should be played by either Brian Kennedy or Larry Gogan.

The Ghost of Christmas Present is a great genial man spreading joy through the land - we'd probably have to get yer man off the lotto draw - the smiley balding guy with the glasses - as he's the only public figure everyone can agree they'd be happy to meet.

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is a grim spectre, robed in black. Bono, anyone?

Mary Harney would be the Christmas turkey (or goose, whichever it was), and Enda Kenny would be Bob Cratchetts scarf.  

Answer 2

Hmmm good question.

For Scrooge i would say Gerry Haugh he is an excelent actor

Answer 3

Jeremiah 10:3-4 - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Answer 4

I think Podge and Rodge should be in a Christmas panto.
