This is a family friendly show done much the same way that Patrick Stewart's One man show had Sir Patrick playing narrator and multiple characters. It is not a reading - it is a telling of the wonderful story that Charles Dickens wrote in fall of 1843 while in dire financial situation, having a fifth child on the way, and having read and become horrified at the 1843 Parliamentary Commission Report on the Employment of Women and Children. Dickens began writing being driven by financial need but also a genuine hope to address societal issues and be an advocate for the poor. He completed the work in six weeks. It was published and sold out in a week. However, printing costs took most of the proceeds and adaptations were rampant. In an effort to make an income Dickens took to the stage and began performing one-man readings of the book. Until 1870 he had performed over 125 of these shows. He eventually made money on the book - through his one man shows.
