A Christmas Carol
|
| Gerald Charles Dickens brings alive the 26 characters of A Christmas Carol with his facial expression, a distinctive voice, a way of standing and moving. A masterful storyteller, the young Dickens portrays Tiny Tim, Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come just as Charles Dickens did on his 1868 tour in Portland, Maine and Boston.
The New York Times called his performance “A once in a lifetime brush with literary history.” The Toronto Star said: “It’s not a reading or a dramatization, but the best of both. Dickens has the entire 75-minute script fully memorized, and he used his face and body with the verve of a skilled performer.” |
