Description: A CELEBRATION OF CHARLES DICKENS

With celebrity actor and actress

CHRISITNE CROSHAW ( piano) and CLIVE CONWAY (flute).

A celebration of the extraordinary and unique world of one of the best-loved authors of all time.

Through the writings and letters of the author himself, together with those of his friends and contemporaries, we trace his fascinating life, illuminated by some of the funniest scenes in all literature as well as some of the most moving, embracing the romantic and the grotesque, the satirical and the macabre.

We bring to life Dickens' universally loved characters, from Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Micawber and Mrs. Nickleby, to Mrs. Gamp, Uriah Heep and Scrooge.

And we reveal Dickens the celebrity, the social reformer, the actor, the entrepreneur, and, above all, Dickens the supreme entertainer.
