“A Christmas Carol” involved in excess of 30 cast members and was a musical version of Charles Dicken’s classic tale as adapted by James Wood. The admittance price for this show was reduced as a special Christmas gesture.
“I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year”
The Review from D.H. including such comments as:
“Dorne Arthur’s Dickens is a combination of community enthusiasm, discipline and infectious excitement. The cast of 30+ was packed with so many family groups that the programme reads rather like a series of Christmas cards. It’s enhanced also by the choreography. Adele Patten has been faced with physical constraints similar to seeing how many people you can make dance inside a telephone booth but she’s arranged some excellent tableaux and some effective moments of contrast. For the remaining nights, you too may experience background carols, tinsel on the piano, a choice of four drinks at interval, and a message with relevance for Taranaki industrialists.”
