A group of Christmas-period reviews (film, ballet and drama)

Our 'outside visits' over the festive period formed a rather lovely little self-contained grouping. So - although I'm horribly aware that I have outstanding theatre reviews for practically everything I saw during the autumn (blame Tennyson: https://grondfic.dreamwidth.org/8943.html) - I'm going to take this lot first. I may do some festive tv as well, in another post.

(I should perhaps mention that tv brought us A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong in the dog-days after Christmas. It was hilarious, and I may review it elsewhere!
