I was lucky enough to kick off the festive season by watching the final dress rehearsal of “A Christmas Carol but not as you know it” adapted from the story by Charles Dickens.
What a treat - thank you Director Lindsay Bishop another show brought to life on the small stage but with big talent & well cast show I was enthralled for the entire 2 hours!
Lighting & sound
Special mention this was mind blowing I really felt like I was in the 1800’s. The team out the back deserve kudos, well thought out & technical very impressive!
Scrooge – (Edward Charlton-Holmes)
Clearly a dab hand & no stranger to the stage large & small, his experience showed & the Scrouge character was brought to life immaculately.
The personality changes captivated me & the stories from the three ghosts, past – present & future had me feeling quite emotional but told an important story as to why Scrooge was the way he was … but can he be changed?
The entire cast made us as the audience feel part of the story, taking us on a roller-coaster of emotions.
I also enjoyed the extras dressed in black featuring throughout the show -very clever & also helpful!
Chris Scanlan had 6 roles, Helen Griffin & Oisin Galloway both boasting an impressive 7 roles each! Each proving to be versatile actors & very at home on the stage.
Start the silly season with a jolly good evening at the Waipukurau Little Theatre
