By Charles Dickens

Yes, Virgina, Dickens did write other Christmas stories besides that one – four others, the first of which was The Chimes. It’s a New Year’s tale that gave a goose to critics of A Christmas Carol, deemed too socially radical for its day, but still very fitting for our own times.

 

Performed by Artistic Director Nick Sandys, this captivating Dickensian story of bleakness-turning-to-hopefulness includes the usual delightful gallery of grotesque characters and scathing social issues, leading to a rebirth worthy of, well, yes, Scrooge.
