"Elegy for Ebenezer” by Douglas Moser, returns the tale to its Dickensian roots: a ghost story. An old, dying Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy man, has never found redemption. As death nears, his faithful, disgruntled servant Bee plans on taking what she's earned over years of caring for this miser before she is thrown out like the trash. As she’s looting his apartment, he asks her to tell her a story, and so she does. Bee spins a ghost story for the old man, reminding him of just what he's come from.
A tour de force for two actors, Ted van Griethuysen, and Sarah Nuland. Sad and uplifting, "Elegy for Ebenezer" finds the heart inside the pain, and the wonder in storytelling.
Location: Lovell Room.
