We celebrated Christmas yesterday with the daughter.* We opened presents and went out for a Christmas meal - turkey and all the trimmings, followed by Christmas pud.
And then we went with her to see A Christmas Carol at Coventry Belgrade Theatre. I've been in the main theatre a couple of times, but this was a smaller venue, the B2, which was perfect for the two performers.
This is a one-man show, with David Bradley telling the story, in a format that is based on Charles Dickens' own one man readings. Bradley was extremely good, conveying the action without the need for any props. He was accompanied by a singer, who also provided the sound effects. In addition the lighting was used to increase the atmosphere.
It was extremely enjoyable and the perfect way to round off our Christmas celebrations.
* The Daughter, an ambulance technician, is working all over Christmas.
