Detail:
Join us this Christmas for a special performance of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic: A Christmas Carol. With a unique family connection to Dickens himself, this production brings the story even closer to home.
The performance features Oliver alongside his father Mark; Oliver is an accomplished actor with a passion for breathing life back into his ancestor’s great characters, whilst his father, Mark, is a knowledgable enthusiast of Charles Dickens and his work. Their shared love of Dickens has made performing A Christmas Carol together a particularly meaningful and memorable experience.
This is by no means their first Christmas Carol! Oliver and Mark have previously joined forces and performed the story at a variety of events, charities, and venues all over the nation, and delighted audiences with their own distinctive interpretation of their ancestor’s best beloved novella, whilst using the very same words that Dickens did when he performed it all around the country.
Together they will bring a little extra authenticity, warmth and family connection to the world’s favourite Christmas tale.
With their family connection to one of England’s greatest storytellers, this promises to be more than simply another Christmas Carol. It is a chance to experience Dickens’s timeless tale through the eyes, and voices, of two members of his dynasty.
