One-Man A Christmas Carol presented by Writers Theatre at Online Stream

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Directed by Stanton Long, with great lighting by Adam Friedland and scenic design by Adam Veness , Halberstam’s adaptation is wonderful, keeping the interest of the viewer, and with his amazing ability to change character quickly, with just the change of his voice or a gesture, you never lose where you are in the story-line. The show was done back in 2008 and has been on the shelf since. With the “pandemic” and the need for some way to entertain the public, it was dusted off and you now have the opportunity to experience the amazing work, available thru January 3rd."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...It's been a miserable year, a rocky road full of difficulties: financial, political and health-wise. This special holiday offering, however, is ideal during a pandemic quarantine. It's a production that's available to Chicagoland audiences to be enjoyed in the safety of their own home. Beautifully produced and masterfully acted, this is a remarkable Scrooge for today."

Chicago Theater and Arts - Highly Recommended

"...Because each production is different and brings the strengths of a professional team, all three shows merit time and ticket. Given Dickens' adroit telling of his moralistic, ghostly novella, "A Christmas Carol" is a story worth repeating."

Chicago On Stage - Highly Recommended

"...Of course, true to the mission statement of the theatre, it is Dickens' words themselves that are the real star of this performance. Unlike some of the sentimental productions you might have seen, and even more than the glorious annual Goodman production that does incorporate Dickens' narrative into its script, Writers' focus on the story with little to no embellishment reminds us of the brilliance of the author's use of language and brings out both his darkness and his humor more clearly."
