A theatrical tour de force!
This is acting in the grand manner, bearing the very soul of the man who represents the worst and very best of the meaning of Christmas.
Bristol Post
Quite simply spellbinding!
Reviewsphere
Nick Hennegan’s adaptation was both humorous and moving, and his use of language, combined with Masterson’s amazing acting skills and the well-timed and emotive use of Robb Williams’ original score, made for an immersive and unforgettable show.
Bedford Clanger
Just when you thought you’d seen enough Christmas Carols to guide you to your grave along comes one of the best yet; seemingly effortless, but hugely effective.
BBC Radio Shropshire
Masterson’s production is an understated warning and a celebration of the hope for human kind. In short, it is A Christmas Carol for our time.
