About the Show:

During his energetic one-man show, Gerald Dickens conjures "A Christmas Carol" with just a table, wing chair and hat rack accompanying him on stage. As he leaps, sobs, and laughs, 26 characters of the classic tale are brought vividly to life. Gerald 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. Bob Byers, President of Byers’ Choice Ltd., says, “It’s a wonderful show - a great family tradition - the best way I know of to kick off the holiday season.”

About the Actor:

Gerald Charles Dickens is an actor and producer hailing from Oxford, England. He bears more than a passing resemblance to his famous ancestor, who originally toured the U.S. in 1867 reading his literary works before spellbound audiences. Historians report that "A Christmas Carol" was Charles' favorite piece to perform. According to Gerald, his great-great-grandfather adored theater and initially wanted to be an actor but pursued writing as a career for practical purposes. For many years Gerald says that he himself “avoided anything to do with Dickens like the plague.” But in 1993, when a friend asked him to do a reading of "A Christmas Carol" on its 150th anniversary of publication to help raise money for a historical restoration project, he couldn’t turn him down. To Gerald's surprise, he enjoyed doing it and has been delighting audiences around the world with his rendition ever since.
