During the telling, Stevens roams the stage, cavorts up the aisles, lectures the audience from down front or sinks into the armchair to read verbatim from a large gilt-edged tome, as if relating a cozy bedtime story. Wherever he is, he brings us smack inside the story and shakes us alive.
While there's much to recommend in the Alley Theatre production with its stage wizardry and large cast, there's always room for an unadulterated version of Dickens's magnificent classic. John Stevens's adaptation at Country Playhouse, directed smartly by Bonnie Hewett and abetted by atmospheric sound design by Rod Harty, is like opening the smallest present under the tree and finding, within, the entire world. That makes for a very merry Christmas.
