The play 'A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story' is a retelling of Dickens' classic ghost story. It has a lot of interesting designs which shows each chatacter's personality and overall atmosphere of the play. For example, the flying ghost props were so impressive. They were moved by hand and appeared across the hall. It caught the eye and made the play more spooky. I think it was brilliant when it comes to creating a big effect with a simple production. In addition, the lighting and diverse sound effects were effective to present entire mood of the play. They could make the audience pay attention to the play more. Watching this play was an enjoyable experience. Furthermore, I could learn not only how they design the set based on the original but also how to describe every aspects of the play more effectively.
