A fruity Brian Blessed and eccentric Penelope Keith take the humbug out of this Christmas Carol
3/5
A somewhat tired and hit-and-miss adaptation of the festive favourite is propped up by gleeful turns from our two national treasures
Larger-than-life: Brian Blessed
There are enough Christmas Carols afoot to keep a critic busy year round. I’m not jaded yet. If I could, for instance, get to Liverpool Playhouse (Tier 2) to see Gemma Bodinetz’s swansong show as artistic director, I would. There’s even a version recorded at Dickens’ old Holborn home on Doughty Street that I’ll watch this week, and I hope to revisit my local production in Chipping Norton, starring David Bradley, for it was so damned good. Standing out from the crowd, though, is a must.

Globe critic s hat. Thankfully, at last, it s time to celebrate with a tankard of steaming hot punch hailing a warm welcome return to some sort of normality. The doors have opened at the Liverpool Playhouse for their much-awaited seasonal offering. It has been worth the wait.
