During his energetic one-man show, Dickens brings "A Christmas Carol" to life. He leaps, he sobs, he laughs as he entertain depicting 26 characters of the classic tale, with just a table, wing chair, and hat rack accompanying him on stage. He has created different postures and voices for each character, achieving this so adeptly that the audience has no doubt about "who is who”, so to speak. Says Bob Byers, President of Byers' Choice Ltd., "It's a wonderful show--a great family tradition--the best way I know of to kick off the holiday season.”

The story, written by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggins and told by Dickens great-great grandson Gerald Charles Dickens, is about a 12-year-old girl's memory of her chance meeting with her literary hero on a train journey from Portland, ME, to Boston, Mass., and Dickens' enchantment with both her boldness and innocence. An enchanting tale for all ages!
