Review: A Christmas Carol by Theatre Royal Youth, Workington, December 16 2018.
A full and appreciative audience clapped and cheered the youth theatre production, which even featured snow and got everyone in the mood for the festive season. Transporting us to a literal Dickens’ Christmas and Victorian England, the costumes looked authentic and it was refreshing that the play had not been modernised as the message is still as valid now as the day it was written.
The production was entirely managed and run by the young people. Heather Palmer, 17, took her directing debut and said: “I am incredibly proud of all the kids. The language was a challenge and they’ve pulled it off. Thank you to everyone that came to watch.”
The next TRY play will be Girls Like That by Evan Placey, on January 16 to 19.
