| Summary: | A Christmas carol: "At Dicken's house, a group of his friends and relatives attend a private performance by the master story-teller of his great Christmas tale. Anton Lesser, as Dickens, brings this classic ghost story to life in a dramatic and moving way"--Container. The making of 'Uncovering the real Dickens': "A surprising look behind the scenes of this evocative production"--Container. Songs from Grope Lane: "The 12-year-old Dickens escapes his miserable daily life and the blacking factory to enjoy a brief spell of raucous tavern entertainment. Lucy Skeaping and her ensemble perform deliciously seedy pub songs from London in the mid-19th century with great enthusiasm, before an eager audience--a scene which could have come straight out of one of Dickens's novels"--Container. |
