"Gerald doesn't just read history... he embodies it! He laughs, he sobs, expressing every emotion" The Morning Call
Gerald Dickens, actor, director and producer specialising in the works of Charles Dickens returns once more to the Great Green Barn for a one-man masterclass production of possibly his great-great grandfather's most well known works, due to many and varied adaptations on stage and screen... the classic that is A Christmas Carol.
A fascination with the life and works of Charles Dickens led Gerald to write his first one-man show, a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol inspired by Dickens’ own energetic readings of the 1860s. Further shows followed including Mr Dickens is Coming!, Nicholas Nickleby and Great Expectations. Gerald has been invited to perform in major theatres, arts centres and stately homes throughout the world.
A Christmas Carol It’s Christmas Eve, and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley who warns him it’s not too late to change his ways... though first he must survive three further ghostly encounters!
Whilst simply staged, Gerald's production of this classic is truly dramatic
