Mr. Dickens Tells a Christmas Carol-2022

DICKENS TELLS A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Adapted by Melinda O’Brien from the novel by Charles Dickens

Mr. Dickens Tells a Christmas Carol recreates the famous performance tour by Charles Dickens in 1867 bringing the travails of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim alive. Taken from the original script, actor Michael Muldoon plays Charles Dickens and tells the well-loved tale in the parlor of the beautifully decorated Mansion where he meets ghostly spirits and eccentric characters. A newspaper wrote of Dickens at the time, “He gave to every character a different voice, a different style, a different face.” We endeavor to share this spirit in our adaptation in this lovely historic setting.

Performances will take place in the Blue Parlor of Lyndhurst Mansion from December 9 through December 23. Tickets are $45 for all seats, General Admission. The play runs about one hour without an intermission, but plan on 90 minutes including check-in at the Welcome Center.

Appropriate for ages 8 and up.  Parking is free.

Masks are required in all indoor spaces.
