Today we Norskis enjoyed a performance of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at the Lakewood Playhouse. It was an overall good show, good effects, but I was particularly impressed with the performances of the "Ghost of Christmas Present", "Jacob Marley", and (the one that topped them all) "Young Ebby"/"Peter Cratchit"! The "Ghost of Christmas Present" was very funny and very much as described in the book; "Jacob Marley" was very haunting (completely terrifying in fact), as was appropriate; but "Young Ebby", ah! "Young Ebby" topped them all. There was just...something about him. His grace, his panache, the way he carried himself...I can't really explain it but...there was just something powerful, something magical about "Young Ebby"! Suffice it to say that "Young Ebby" has such a flair for acting, he stole the show! Took my breath away really...

I do agree in all respects! That Young Ebby just...captivated my essence of being...inspired my soul of souls! It was most likely the tone in his composure that stimulated us, I think. For he walked with the heir of an accomplished actor and strode around JUST like little Scrooge himself.
