A CHRISTMAS CAROL

This John Mortimer adaptation is fairly faithful to the original and is as Dickensian as you could hope. Set in a lovely simplistic set, and using all the cast for the many scene changes, fronted by carollers, made the production move along swiftly and smoothly. Some very clever IT film and projections giving a nice contemporary but still a period atmosphere. I particularly liked the projection of Scrooge and The Spirit of Christmas Past in their particular scene and the flying over the sea sequence. Good use of the haze smoke throughout creating more atmosphere on those cobbled streets of London. Excellent principal work supported by a proficient ensemble.
