Recenzii

I absolutely ADORED it! A really funny, clever, brilliant play on all the Christmas tropes. It just has to be made into a movie!
Cleverly mixing the snowy chill of the North Pole with the fuzzy warmth of friendship, Tinsel is Christmas spirit wrapped in a fun, feminist parcel. The elves (all named Carol) are glorious, and I was left craving a mince pie
A charming, feminist retake on the Santa story [.] the real message of this charming story is that just one act of kindness has the power to transform. A fun-filled adventure with a magical horse, a talking tree and two feisty girls makes for a great Christmas tale
A sparkling, glittering festive delight, Tinsel is funny, warm hearted and thrilling too - it made my toes tingle and my heart glow with Christmas magic
