A SCROOGE THROUGH GENERATIONS

Gerald Dickens, the great-great grandson of the brilliant writer Charles Dickens, is a skilled and versatile actor. Like his distant grandfather, Gerald’s one-man performances of “A Christmas Carol” are emotionally brilliant and awe-inspiring for adults and children alike. As seen through the spirit-haunted imagination of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, his laughing, leaping and sobbing portrayals of the novel’s 26 characters brings a profounder understanding to the protagonist as his world unfolds before him, and the audience,  imagined and realized by the incredible magic of Dickens’ acting ability.

However, the last time I saw Gerald Dickens perform his “A Christmas Carol” was at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island, New York. He was touring America during the Christmas season on his Holiday Tour, visiting various cities in the northeast…I haven’t seen him since, nor do I know if he still tours. If he happened to have been appearing in your part of the world lately, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know…what’s more, I hope you bought a ticket and went to see him.
