In this spirited one-man performance, Gerald Charles Dickens tells the beloved story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s heartfelt transformation by acting out all 26 characters in this 70 minute performance. Many of the scenes have been recorded on location throughout the streets of Rochester, England where Gerald's great-great grandfather, Charles Dickens, took inspiration for many of his writings.

laptop, or mobile device as it is only viewable online.
Dickens’ performance is not a play or a reading and was best described after one of Dickens’ Boston performances. According to Variety, “Among the myriad versions of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" that pop up each Christmas, this one is different in two ways. One: Gerald Charles Dickens, who plays all 26 characters in the cautionary 1843 tale, is the author's great-great-grandson. Two: His performance is twirlingly, leapingly physical, the antithesis of a "reading" of the work.”
