Tintin

I've never read Tintin, but Alice is an enormous fan. It was with a feeling of slight trepidation that I went her and her family to see the Young Vic's adaptation of Tintin in Tibet at the Barbican as part of their Christmas season for children. But there was no need for any self-consciousness. The show was fantastic. While it's hard not to compare any future Christmas show with the National's knock-out production of His Dark Materials, Tintin really held its own. Superb.
