It's Not Too Late to Watch a Wildly Inventive Take on The Christmas Carol Several years ago, I was lucky enough to see a live Manual Cinema performance in New York. This astonishingly creative theater company puts on performances entirely with shadow puppets, paper cutouts, and overhead projectors. You're watching this story being told on screen, but you're also watching them do the whole thing right in front of you! It's hard to know which is more fascinating. I can't even describe how spellbinding the overall effect is. It is pure, low-tech magic.
