‘A Christmas Carol’ With Effects and Affection:
Nelson Pressley The Washington Post
“As Scrooge, [Richard] Poe “bahs!” and “humbugs!” gruffly, and Clinton Brandhagen’s irrepressibly beamish nephew Fred bellows good cheer.
Like Christmas, Scrooge and his story can be done by rote. But Poe and his colleagues are given room to come through, and they finish with a glint of real wonder.”
