<body> <h1>Screwge - A Rock Musical Based On Dicken's Scrooge ©Richard Beale</h1> <P align=justify><STRONG>“Screwge”</STRONG> remains faithful to the original chronology and structure of the tale. The sequence of events prompted by the appearance of Jacob Marley and subsequent hauntings from the past, present and future remain as they were first presented in Dickens’ text. Characterisation is also maintained without unnecessary changes, as is the final redemption of Screwge himself.  The architecture for this production is described below </P> <H3 align=justify><FONT color=#ffcc33>Act 1  Duration: 73 minutes</FONT></H3> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 1</STRONG>     Town square with church and large Christmas tree.</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 2</STRONG>     Screwge’s offices – sombre, cold austere.</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 3</STRONG>     Cratchitt family home – main parlour</P> <P align=justify><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#ffcc00>Enter "The Ghost of Jacob Marley"</FONT></EM><BR>Scene 4</STRONG>     Screwge’s home front door – dark, foreboding</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 5</STRONG>     Stage subdivided between Screwge’s sitting room – miserable, sparse, cold <BR>                 and Screwge’s bedroom – large 4-poster bed, dark, inhospitable</P> <P align=justify><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#ffcc00>Enter "The Ghost of Christmas Past"</FONT></EM><BR>Scene 6</STRONG>     Partial scenes –  Screwge’s school,    Sister’s deathbed<BR>    <BR><STRONG>Scene 7</STRONG>     Fezziwig’s business premises – large,  well lit</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 8</STRONG>     Darkened stage – lights on  Spirit and Screwge</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 9</STRONG>     Ornamental  bridge and street  lamps</P> <P align=justify><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#ffcc00>Enter "The Ghost of Christmas Present"<BR></FONT></EM>Scene 10</STRONG>   Screwge’s bedroom/sitting room -  as at Scene 6</P> <P align=justify><STRONG>Scene 11</STRONG>   Lights fade with Spirit and Screwge stage centre then lights lift to reveal <BR>                vibrant town square as at Scene 1, people noisily enjoying themselves, <BR>                laughter.
