Royal Shakespeare Company - 1994/96

Cast: Clive Francis, Paul Greenwood, Polly James, John Bennett, Phillip Quast. 

"A success the size of a giant Christmas tree appealing to the grown-up in the children and the child in the grown-ups… Ian Judge’s resplendent production combines the eeriness of the ghost story and the thrill of the fairy tale with the grubby realism of Victorian fiction." - Sunday Times

"Take the kids to see these marvellous people cut a slice of theatrical perfection richer than any pudding. God bless them every one." - Today

"All credit therefore to Ian Judge, always the most show-biz oriented of the current RSC team of directors, to have managed a lavish audience gift." - International Herald Tribune
