Support British have produced a number of brilliant online productions during lockdown and A Christmas Carol is another opportunity to see a really entertaining play with some really excellent actors. It is also a good play for feeling Christmassy!

I really enjoyed this production of A
Christmas Carol. It is a really good dramatization of the story by Naylah Ahmed and the
performances are so good.
It’s done on Zoom so the characters
aren’t actually together but the way the screens are pushed together kind of
makes you forget that. Some of it is filmed in outside locations and it looks
like there is real snow. If you watch it on Zoom you can either have your
camera turned on or off but if yours is switched on, watch out! The Fezziwigs
will get you on the main screen and make you dance! It’s great if you’re into
that but not everyone is. Remember to mute yourself too and stay muted!

This enjoyable production of A
Christmas Carol is probably more aimed at children than adults but as Megan
has already reviewed one production of A Christmas Carol, Alba reviewed
something yesterday, and Lottie and Ricky reviewed something today, I thought
I’d write the review. My daughter assures me I am very immature, even though I
am ‘old’ so maybe I am the right person to review it!

There are lots of good productions of A
Christmas Carol and this one is right up there. Everything about it worked
really well and it is very enjoyable even when it is your fourth Christmas
Carol in a couple of weeks.

It’s a sad day today but I’m sure
watching A Christmas Carol made a lot of people feel better, even if it
was only for two and a half hours. It is a really brilliant adaption of A
Christmas Carol with a Shakespearean twist and I really hope it will be
possible for more people to watch it before it disappears offline forever.

There are a lot of productions of A
Christmas Carol which will be available online this month. I’ve only
watched this one so far so I can’t say which one is the best, and that probably
wouldn’t be fair, anyway. All I can say that if you want to choose just one,
this will be a good one to choose. I’m sure there will be other good
productions too, but this one is definitely good.
I think most people know the story of A
Christmas Carol, but in case you don’t, it’s based on a novel by Charles
Dickens and it’s about a man called Ebenezer Scrooge. He hates Christmas and
everything it stands for. All he cares about is money. But one night he has a
visitor who tells him there is still time for him to change. He will receive
three more visitors. They will help him decide what to do.
