Mirror Tent at BMW
Introduction
The Mirror Tent returned to Oxford as the perfect setting for this adaptation of Dickens’ classic novel. The mirrors, red and green velvet drapes, gold carvings and ornate pillars all created a glowing Christmassy atmosphere in which to enjoy mulled wine and gourmet crepes around the candle-lit cabaret tables. Matthew Hendrickson returned to play Scrooge in a heart-warming show that delighted audiences of all ages and was a sell-out from start to finish. Directed by Abigail Anderson.
