A DICKENS OF A GREAT PERFORMANCE

Review: Sheffield Theatres’ production of A Christmas Carol, Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, until January 10th.

Charles Dickens’ festive favourite A Christmas Carol is brought to vivid life in a new adaptation by Aisha Khan.
On Christmas Eve, spirits lay bare the results of Scrooge’s miserly ways, leaving him to decide whether to change or be doomed to loneliness.
Ian Midlane is outstanding in the central role, backed by a terrific cast including young local performers.
The production opts for simple stagecraft over techy effects and is all the more powerful for it.
Sheffield is celebrated through the area’s generations-old community carols which provide the haunting vocal soundscape.
Last night’s show clearly struck a chord with everyone present given the explosive standing ovation.
The story of A Christmas Carol seems more relevant than ever.
This is a funny and poignant telling sure to fill your heart with hope.
