One of the most well-loved and meaningful Christmas stories of all time comes to Buxton at The Palace Hotel on Saturday 15th December. A Christmas Carol tells the tale of old miser Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by a sequence of ghosts who force him to revaluate his life and become a better person. In fact, the story has become so engrained in popular culture that we refer to anyone who doesn’t get into the Christmas spirit as a “scrooge”.
There have been many memorable Hollywood treatments of Charles Dickens’ novella but the show in Buxton is being performed by his own great great grandson Gerald Dickens! Back in the mid-1800s, Charles Dickens gave a series of no less than 127 public performances of A Christmas Carol. Talent has clearly run in the family as Gerald Dickens has recreated the magic created by his literary ancestor to rave reviews.
The show has toured the UK for some years but will be its first time ever in Buxton.
An accomplished actor, director and producer, Gerald Dickens uses his voice and physical talents to bring each scene and character to life easing the audience into the world of this immortal Christmas classic.
