A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story - 2022 - 7/10

Outstanding theatrical performance of Dickens.
As always, light predominates the mid-section, waning as Christmas lasts but a day.
Mark Gatiss has sprinkled a few embellishments here and there that enhance the proceedings (check the bookend twists).
Ebullient dances, brief singing, some sharp repartee.
This play also contains humorous moments, relieving the grim sets and grimy apparel.
Nonetheless, this is faithful to the story and makes one long to have been in the audience for this one.
