REVIEWS
'Gets right to the frozen heart of Dickens' classic Christmas tale ... one of those rare festive offerings for which no adult will need the excuse of a child in tow...' ~ The Guardian
"Bartlett's singular achievement is that he has relied entirely upon the words employed in Dickens' original novel in fashioning his most stage-worthy, theatrically compelling play. The result is a brisk, clear and unfussy Carol that is faithful to its source and likely to win over those constitutionally resistant to its inherent sentiment" ~ talkinbroadway.com
