Mr. Dickens Tells A Christmas Carol 2023

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 Picture Gallery 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 Picture Gallery of Lyndhurst Mansion from December 8 through December 26. Tickets are $49 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.

Please be advised that this performance takes place on the second floor of the Mansion in the Picture Gallery, it is not handicap accessible. 

For everyone’s safety, Lyndhurst encourages masks in all indoor spaces.  As in any public setting, we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to COVID-19. By visiting Lyndhurst, you voluntarily assume such risks.
