A Christmas Carol, Gate Theatre, Dublin, ★★★★☆

 The last staging of A Christmas Carol at the Gate Theatre was a festive classic. It saw Owen Roe in the title role, oodles of inventive staging, and hardly a dry eye in the house by the end of it. That was in a version by Jack Thorne. Now, another arrives via the pen of a British big-hitter, this time Neil Bartlett’s one from 2002.
