Inspecting Carol
by Daniel Sullivan
What readers are saying
Readers find the play to be uproariously funny, particularly resonating with those familiar with the theatre world. The blend of comedy from 'A Christmas Carol' and the absurdity of 'The Inspector General' is appreciated, though some had different expectations regarding its holiday theme.

Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and his is given a role in the current production.
A Christmas Carol.
Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity.
Perfect anytime, this delight is particularly appropriate at Christmas.
