Dickens’ a christmas carol Review - stephen pedersen, the chronicle herald
“A professional Brit-panto audience-charmer and one of the best character actors in the country, if not the continent, Webb was fast on his feet, nimble-witted and superbly comic as Ebenezer Scrooge, and just about everybody else, in his one-man presentation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Dickens’ indestructible 168-year-old tale of the power of Christmas to transmute a desperately unhappy miser into a hysterical philanthropist could not have been in better hands. Webb’s ability to inflect the spoken word with a brief, incisive physical gesture that subtly conveys all its wit and salty character right to the very last row of the Cohn balcony, played delightful havoc with his broad, farcical, panto style for the blissed-out audience. Macmillan’s music was both clever and mood-changing. All of it was derived from Christmas carols we all know. It served both as underscoring and intermezzo-ish straight arrangements of carols like Hark the Herald Angel’s Sing, Adeste Fidelis, Angels We Have Heard on High and O Tannenbaum. He also threw in an unacknowledged quote of haunting passages from the Coventry Carol.”
