Enjoy a new abridged audiobook adaptation of Charles Dickens' most famous novella, A Christmas Carol.

Christmas Eve. As everyone prepares for the start of the festive holidays with joy and excitement, one man is ready to greet it with bitterness and scorn. A man with more cruelty, callousness and coldness in his heart than any other creature who walks the earth. His name? Ebenezer Scrooge.

But tonight, this lost, dark soul will receive a ghostly figure from beyond the grave, warning Ebenezer that his bitter nature must now face the true spirit of Christmas, or forever be damned...

A story of goodwill and humanity, this timeless tale returns to remind us of that much needed spirit of kindness and compassion, and that, even in our darkest days, we can all rediscover the light.

Read by Jenny Runacre, directed and produced by Jack Bowman.

Why then should the young and beautiful Katya be at the castle door attracting the close attention of the gaoler and wanting a job looking after Countess?

It is written by a sufferer and it specifically addresses what happens to relationships around an individual who is stricken by the illness and should educate those that don’t know much about this life-threatening condition.

For those that have experienced the illness Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (first or second hand), it’s a story you can empathise with. For those who haven’t, it’s a story you can sympathise with.

Actor/Director/Writer and M.E. sufferer, Barnaby Eaton-Jones said: “The script was first written in 1992, which makes this the 20th anniversary of that event. But, a lot has changed since then. It was often sad, very frustrating and constantly bewildering to read so much new research since the play was last performed and find that there isstill prejudice, wrong information and lack of knowledge out there in the general public. Hopefully, this play will play a small part in helping to redress the balance.”

Is it possible that the principles of liberty, brotherhood and equality could apply to a nation of brutalised black slaves? The white masters think not, but one man, Toussaint L’Ouverture, an ex-slave himself, has other ideas. Trusted by all factions in the colony, whites, blacks, and the increasingly powerful mixed race “Mulattoes” Toussaint sets about exploiting the divisions between the Royalist planters and the Revolutionaries from France to create an opening out of which true equality for the slaves may come.

It has often been said that men do not make history but history makes men. What better example can there be than the story of Toussaint L’Ouverture an illiterate ex-slave , without training, who had no choice but to find greatness as a leader to rescue his people from a dark chapter of history? In this he is assisted by the fearless meddling Voudou Priestess, Mambo Cecile, and by a young faithful house slave, Marie, poised to undergo an extraordinary transformation from a timid servant to a woman who for the first time dares to dream of freedom and beyond…

“Cask’ was recorded on location in ancient vaults. Every footstep and cough, every brick and every echo are captured and you will never forget hearing the final, faraway declamation: ‘In pace requiescat!’
