Review: HOME ALONE IN CONCERT, Royal Albert Hall
by Aliya Al-Hassan - December 10, 2022
Many people say that Christmas does not begin until they hear Mariah Carey's “All I Want For Christmas Is You” belted out from a radio or in a department store. Surely more heartwarming is John Williams’ 'Somewhere in My Memory', the wistful main theme from that-most-Christmassy-of films, Home Alone? As part of the Royal Albert Hall’s Films in Concert series, the festive classic is brought beautifully to life.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL-ISH, Soho Theatre
by Laura Jones - December 09, 2022
What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to indulge in arguably Charles Dickens’ best known tale, A Christmas Carol. You might think you’ll be spending the evening watching Ebenezer Scrooge redeem himself after realising the error of his ways, but Mr Swallow’s A Christmas Carol-ish is a much more fun take on a Christmas classic.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - December 09, 2022
It's always a hard task to 'put a spin' on a story as traditional and well known as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's adaptation gives us a female Scrooge, Charlie Dickens as a magical narrator and a school of cold and hungry children, run by Scrooge's nephew and his wife, who help create a story to teach the miserly Scrooge a lesson.
