Thank you for another lovely evening, this time to see A Christmas Carol, starring Reece Dinsdale as Scrooge. Amy Leach's Scrooge is the cruel, capitalist owner of a 19th-century Leeds mill, and there are socialist messages throughout (at one point, Scrooge is forced to listen to the workers who toil to make him rich, and is confronted with the fact that he does not work as hard as them).

Mr and Mrs Cratchit are performed by Deaf actors, and I loved Mrs Cratchit's takedown of Scrooge – all through BSL, but the meaning was absolutely clear to everyone!

And there's a gay couple! Which shouldn't seem revolutionary, but actually it's reassuring and noteworthy to see LGBT+ representation.

The costumes and set were magnificent, with the smouldering mill towers as a backdrop, and a truly impressive Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

The restaurant was reasonably priced and the pizzas nicely cooked. The staff all around the Playhouse were very friendly and helpful – we've forgotten the name of the gentleman who was training at Quarry 3 this evening sorry, but good luck with the induction, and what a wonderful place to work!

Thank you to the whole team for an enjoyable evening.

Excellent venue offering a wide variety of performances throughout the year to to suit all ages and abilities. Food and drink available from the cafe, kitchen and bar areas. Parking available nearby but best to arrive early to guarantee a space in time for shows at busy times. Box office staff were helpful in sorting out ticket issue.
