Here is the synopsis for “A Klingon Christmas Carol”:

The first play ever to be produced entirely in the Klingon language, the Twin Cities phenomenon “A Klingon Christmas Carol” has finally come to Chicago! Scrooge has neither honor nor courage in this uproarious twist on the classic holiday tale. Can the visits of three spirits help him to become a true warrior in time to save Tiny Tim from a horrible fate?

Find out in Commedia Beauregard’s melding of Charles Dickens’ morality tale with the language and culture of the “Star Trek” warrior race. Performed in the original Klingon language (with English subtitles provided for the benefit of audience members who don’t speak the language), this bizarre hit has earned itself a following of both “Star Trek” devotees and novices alike.
