Fairfield, CT - Gerald Charles Dickens, the great-great grandson of literary master Charles Dickens, will perform a captivating rendition of the timeless holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol” on Thursday, November 30, 7:00pm at Black Rock Church, 3680 Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield. Proceeds from the show benefit Operation Hope of Fairfield and its efforts to end hunger and homelessness right here at home. Show sponsors include The Historical Christmas Barn and Colony Grill Fairfield. Reserved seating is $15/person and tickets can be purchased at 2017dickens.bpt.me.
During his energetic one-man show, Mr. Dickens, an actor and producer hailing from Oxford, England, singlehandedly depicts 26 characters from the classic tale. He leaps, sobs, and laughs as he performs with just a table, wing chair and hat rack accompanying him on stage. Mr. Dickens returns to the U.S. for his 2017 tour that will take him to several states across the country. He will transform theaters into scenes straight out of the classic holiday tale, such as Scrooge transforming from a dispirited miser into a joyous soul after his Christmas Eve encounter with ghosts from the past, present and future. This unparalleled performance is sure to kick off the holiday season in a unique and wonderful way.
