A Christmas Carol

Tonight we went to the Donald Oat Theater, on the third floor of an old building in downtown Norwich, to see a one-man production of Dicken's Carol. It was impressive- the actor played 17 different parts and portrayed the entire story in about 90 minutes. He wore modern clothes and the only props on the stage were a table, high desk and a high chair. With different voices and accents and different postures all of the characters were done by this one actor.

We know the story well because for several years we read it aloud together at Christmas. Some precious lines: "Marley was dead to begin with" and Marley's face on the door knocker glowed "like a bad lobster in a dark cellar."

One the way home we stopped at Tim Horton's for hot chocolate and a snack.
