Ebenezer Scrooge will sue Jacob Marley and the Ghosts when the Bellevue Civic Theatre presents The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge beginning Jan. 29 and running through Feb. 6.
Just one year after his miraculous transformation, Scrooge is back to his old ways and is suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
