"Rob Evans’s whimsical, tender tale of lonely prim’n’grim Carol (Ronnie Leer) who melts into seasonal goodwill when she has to help a lost Elf (Ben Lewis) find Santa before Christmas Day – he’ll die, otherwise. Claire Halleran’s rooftop set has all the intricate surprise of a life-size pop-out book. Leer and Lewis (who only speaks a gobbledygook Elvish) deliver side-splittingly daft antics, especially as they clamber high and low – but as their adventure draws to a close, they unaffectedly convey the complex emotions that even young children recognise from their own friendships. Elf safe, Carol – like Scrooge – transformed ... audiences transported. Ho! ho! ho! Happy endings all round!" The Herald, 14th December 2009 Mary Brennan's review of shows for little ones across Scotland.

The Night Before Christmas is all up and running at the MacRobert this month. It's a lovely show and everyone involved has done a fantastic job. Even the audience like it.
