With a script that is fine-tuned annually in response to the current issues affecting Vancouver’s DTES, Bah! Humbug! is Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol reconceived: a modern-day, sushi-loving Ebenezer Scrooge owns a pawn shop on Vancouver’s Hastings Street, where he is timing Bob Cratchit’s late arrival to work on his iPhone.

Directed by Max Reimer, Bah! Humbug! features Juno award-winning musician Jim Byrnes as Ebenezer Scrooge, actress Margo Kane as the narrator, actor Jonathan Holmes as Marley, and gospel and blues singer/actor Bill Croft as Bob Cratchit.
