by Louise Penn - December 21, 2023
With ghostly lighting and flourishes of laughter, Tiny Tim's Christmas Carol can be highly recommended for its target audience of children under ten and for adults who may be looking for a break from their festive planning. A tasty plum pudding of a show with just enough holly on top.
