“Inventive, sharp silliness”
The Stage
Put on your best Victorian bib-and-tucker and hold on to your stovepipe hat as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future whisk us on a brilliantly funny flight of theatrical fancy.
Brought splendidly to life in the inventive, adventurous style of Baskerville and The 39 Steps, this new adaptation of A Christmas Carol is a rude and raucous delight.
Those purveyors of playfulness and physical comedy, Spymonkey, present a festive treat, guaranteed to be exquisitely silly, with music, merriment and plenty of heart.
