Reviews
“A Christmas Carol was so good that we booked to see it a second time” TripAdvisor review
“Great cast; great concept; fabulous treatment of my favourite Dickens. Creation Theatre punches way above it’s weight and we in Oxford are very lucky to have such a company resident in our city.” Audience member of Twitter
“Dickens’s festive classic has been re-told so many times it has lost its punch. What Creation Theatre have done for their seasonal show at The North Wall is restore its venomous sting, to the chilling moral tale it was intended. Though presented for jaded modern eyes, it is more gloomy, twisted and powerful than even the
original. Dickens would surely love it…This is as good as theatre gets. ★★★★★” The Oxford Times
“By heck, @creationtheatre, your Christmas Carol was bloody marvellous. Frightening and funny and irreverent and fresh. Bonus points for the introductions you made before the inclusive performance. All theatre companies should be so thoughtful.” Audience member on Twitter
“Seriously one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen in yearsl.” Audience member on Twitter
