A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story

'Fabulous... irresistibly theatrical... Gatiss has pulled off a clever trick... a big, bold, inventive, yet remarkably faithful staging of Dickens's evergreen opus'

* Telegraph *

'Gatiss's script is surprisingly faithful... remind[ing] us of the inherent theatricality in Dickens's storytelling... Gatiss also includes Dickens's dark comedy that is so often overlooked... a clever twist and a great surge in festive feeling'

* Guardian *

'Superb... spooky and darkly funny... puts a smile on your face'

* The Times *

'Transports us with its magical stream of verbal and visual narratives... Gatiss's adaptation keeps much of the original text of the well-known classic story yet brings it even more alive by blending in deft verbal brushstrokes of natural language fashioned with such a keen ear for story-telling that he never loses the sense of history'

'Mark Gatiss gives us his own interpretation that demonstrates there are still new ways of looking at Dickens's 1843 novella... a slick, clever, uplifting production'

* British Theatre Gui
