"... Olney Theatre Center’s production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas will appeal to those who want to see a different, original telling of the Scrooge story. This version – adapted from Dickens’ original novella and reading tour – is ‘theatrical storytelling’ at its best. Morella tells the story and portrays all of the characters – over 40 – as he weaves the classic Dickens Christmas tale. The end result is one of the most intimate, heartwarming, and beautiful productions I have ever experienced."

"...Olney Theatre's intimate black box space is the perfect venue for this project-now in its third year. Morella works his way masterly around the space, even venturing out into the audience itself. The spare set-a chair, a desk, piles of books strewn across the stage-lends itself to countless situations, while the costume pieces economically conjure the phases of Scrooge's transformation. The lighting design (Sonya Dowhaluk) occasionally fails to show Morella's eyes, but comes hurtling back with several epic shifts-courtesy of the hidden footlights at the edge of the stage. Audiences should note that fog is used profusely throughout the show, though not without cause."
