Holidays, Performing Arts & Entertainment
September 21 | 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The great-great-grandson of the literary legend Charles Dickens, British actor Gerald Charles Dickens returns to Ventfort Hall this time to present his one-man theatrical performance of his ancestor’s classic works in Mr. Dickens Is Coming! An elegant tea will follow the matinee performance. After having visited Ventfort Hall for many holiday seasons, this year, Dickens will be gracing us with his performance of Mr. Dickens Is Coming! This is a one-man show written and performed by Gerald Charles Dickens, the great-great grandson of Charles Dickens. The show features Gerald Dickens embodying his ancestor and bringing to life characters and excerpts from Charles Dickens’ works, as well as offering a 21st-century perspective. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ own readings of his works, particularly A Christmas Carol, this performance includes excerpts from novels, characters, letters, and diary entries, all delivered with a unique flair by this gifted storyteller. The show often aims to recreate the atmosphere of Charles Dickens’s original performances, transporting audiences back in time to experience his stories in a period setting.
