Crows Nest Arts Council, in conjunction with Joel Archer’s Golden Oldies movies, is presenting A Christmas Carol, a 1938 black and white film adaptation of Charles Dickens's classic novel.

The show will start at 2pm on Friday 4th November in the Crows Nest RSL-Community Hall, with cartoons and selected short films, followed by the main feature after intermission.

A brief synopsis of the story is as follows:

On Christmas Eve in 19th-century London, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge reluctantly allows his employee Bob Cratchit to have Christmas off with pay but orders him back all the earlier the day after. Bob spends the last of his wages on food for his family's humble Christmas dinner.

 That night Scrooge is haunted by three spirits: The Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

The following day, Christmas Day, Scrooge is a changed man. He shares the true spirit of Christmas with the Cratchit family in a way that makes for a joyous and heart-warming end to the story.

Doors open at 1.30pm. Ticket sales at the door (EFTPOS available). Afternoon tea included in admission price.
