"Dominic Gerrard masterfully captures Dickens's memorable characters in a magical evening of story-telling. I watched transfixed and left the theatre thoroughly moved by this unforgettable tale."

Oliver Dimsdale, Filter Theatre

"The show itself follows a neat conceit, a cheeky Maria taking us to exhibits (such as the Great Bed of Ware) that the censorious Malvolio would prefer us not to see, before they bump into Sir Toby Belch for a cut-down scene from the play.”

Mark Lawson, New Statesman on Malvolio's Misorder

"I was spellbound by Dominic Gerrard's one-man show of A Christmas Carol. It's the perfect way to begin your Christmas."

Lucinda Dickens Hawksley

"I came away transfixed and am even writing this with a smile on my face ... please please please go to see this if you can."

The Public Reviews

“The warm-hearted appeal of this production owes everything to the ensemble effort - just five actors mucking in - with particularly fine work from Dominic Gerrard as the scrupulous, deadpan Harry Edgington.”

The Telegraph

"As the ‘melancholy Jacques’ his cynicism and jaded nature show clearly, through both his speech and some excellent moments of wordlessness. His seven ages of man speech is natural, conversational and refreshingly, completely without pretention."

Riot in the Cheap Seats on As You Like It

“This is an entertaining and cleverly conceived show in a beautiful setting, and offers an interesting take on the relationships between these three characters.”

"Gerrard even manages to make Jacques' cataloguing of man’s ages seem freshly thought of; he is a kindly but disturbing shadow among the simple joy of Shakespeare’s happy ending."

British Theatre Guide on As You Like It

"A worthy rival to Simon Callow's one man Carol"

Independent on Sunday

"Gerrard is such a gifted and charismatic performer ... The contrast of emotions he sweeps the audience through is quite astonishing – we’re feeling boisterous one minute, and experiencing Scrooge’s palpable loneliness the next.”

The Stage (on A Christmas Carol)

“There's an attempt at lightening the mood with a bizarre musical number, Try Me, with the cast all dressed as insects, making themselves sound like delicious alternatives to meat.”

Whatsonstage on Mouthful

"As well as a jolly sing-along and the publication of a Christmas classic, there’s also debate around Home Rule in Ireland and the Corn Laws – such problems don’t go away because it’s Christmas."

The Stage on Victoria & Albert's Christmas Carol

"Gerrard gives a dramatic performance of Dickens’ Christmas classic, bringing Scrooge's torment at the hands of the ghosts – and ultimate redemption – powerfully to life."

Time Out

"Dominic Gerrard rise from his cello to become a suave red-coated captain.”

The Guardian on The Poor Soldier

"It’s just possible that Albert, a great proponent of the uniting of nations through the Great Exhibition, would have been most upset by Brexit – or this might just be overthinking a diverting piece of historical light entertainment."

The Stage on Victoria & Albert's Christmas Carol

“Gerrard also gives a charismatic performance as Jacques, here depicted as a melancholy yet mercurial Scotsman.”
