Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Rose Theatre

It's always a hard task to 'put a spin' on a story as traditional and well known as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

When performance artist Bryony Kimmings was approached by Complicite to create a new show, the invitation came from producer Judith Dimant - who had just received a cancer diagnosis.
