Ideal play for schools and family audiences.
About a child going to stay with her relations for the Christmas holidays and discovering a magical world.
Holly has to spend New Year with the grumpiest pair of farmers who ever ploughed a field. Luckily, she meets a faery called Tomos, whose magic and mischief brighten up her days and transform her stay into a real adventure.
'A stellar adaptation by Charles Way, moving, thoughtful and wonderfully drawn'. What's on Stage *****
'Way gives real depth to characters, replaces Dickens' sentimentality with warmth and his censoriousness with moral indignation'. ***** The Independent
'daringly restructures Dickens' plot, yet sticks to the motto of his lisping ringmaster Mr Sleary: 'People mutht be amuthed.'' The Observer
