Mrs. Dilber's Christmas Carol flips Dickens' classic on its head by centering not on Scrooge, but on his housekeeper—yes, the woman who strips the bedclothes from his still-cooling corpse in the original story. Playwright Arthur M. Jolly's hilarious reimagining follows Mrs. Dilber through her own eventful night as she schemes to claim some bedcurtains of her own, navigating ghosts and diversions on a night adjacent to the more familiar tale. It's silly, sharp, and surprisingly pointed—taking aim at the social inequality that plagued Victorian England and hasn't exactly gone away.
