Joe Battista - Boy Ebenezer Scrooge

Boy Ebenezer Scrooge


"They went, the Ghost and Scrooge, across the hall, to a
door at the back of the house. It opened before them, and
disclosed a long, bare, melancholy room, made barer still by
lines of plain deal forms and desks. At one of these a lonely
boy was reading near a feeble fire; and Scrooge sat down
upon a form, and wept to see his poor forgotten self as he
used to be.
 
Not a latent echo in the house, not a squeak and scuffle
from the mice behind the panelling, not a drip from the
half-thawed water-spout in the dull yard behind, not a sigh
among the leafless boughs of one despondent poplar, not the
idle swinging of an empty store-house door, no, not a clicking
in the fire, but fell upon the heart of Scrooge with a softening
influence, and gave a freer passage to his tears."

   - A Christmas Carol, Stave 2: The First of the Three Spirits

 
  • The character of child Scrooge is performed by Joe Battista
