FORT MYERS, Fla. —A delightful holiday comedy presented by the Florida Repertory Theatre is bringing laughs and a twist to a Christmas classic.

“The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge” is set a year after Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The comedy by Mark Brown is set in a courtroom where Ebenezer Scrooge is suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.

The plot is tailored to be a surprising twist with laughs and flashbacks to the original classic.
