This does not take away from the tale at all, but just means its focus slightly shifts. This adaptation for me, has more of a message about the saving of Ebenezer Scrooge &#8211; the man he can become and the help he can bring to so many. The message from this was perfect for 2020, and the strange year it has been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every member of the cast was excellent, but I did enjoy Andrew Lincoln as Scrooge. It was nice to think of Scrooge as a younger man who would have the chance to make a difference for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a chance to catch this production, please do &#8211; it is good fun and a tale that is so much part of the festive season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theatre if one of the greatest joys for Mr Bookwormandtheatremouse and I during the festive season.
