Synopsis:
A Victorian family prepares a paper theatre for a performance of 'A Christmas Carol'. The audience enters the imagination of one of the children and quickly, the cardboard stage transforms to reveal a magical world containing real dancers and stylised sets. The classic tale unfolds in a rich tapestry of highly absorbing, theatrical drama featuring sumptuous visual effects inspired by the techniques of early cinema. In a daring twist of format, characters are portrayed by dancers and voiced by an eclectic cast of the world's most recognisable actors.
The mix of danced action and spoken narration brings fresh dimension to Dickens' characters and poetic language, whilst remaining true to the beauty of the author's original narrative.

Very Disapointing - A Christmas Carol review by GBK

Spoiler Alert
15/01/2022

This must be the worse telling of this classic story that i have ever seen, I could not watch it all as it was that bad, You have various people narrating the story while a bunch of others prance around the set like demented idiots, A Total waste of time, I would not recomend this at all

Grotesquely self-indulgent but Sian Phillips is wonderful - A Christmas Carol review by SJ

Spoiler Alert
21/10/2022

Oh my goodness me, how to totally ruin a traditional story. The voices are all wonderful, if only they'd stuck with the actors. The music is somewhat aggravating and the dancers are offensive. Avoid at all costs.
