The Dickens You Say!

Lots of humor, a little scandal.

Charles Dickens wrote some of the most powerful, imaginative, and beloved novels of all time. In this lively and humorous production, actors take the audience on a journey through the life and loves of the great writer.

Through a series of monologues and scenes, the performers bring to life the ridiculous, the romantic, and the chilling characters Dickens created so brilliantly. Audiences will encounter unforgettable figures such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley, the sorrowful Miss Havisham, the delightfully drunken Mrs. Gamp, and the ever-hopeful Mr. Micawber—always certain that “something will turn up.”

Along the way, the actors explore Dickens himself: his passionate nature, his romantic adventures, and the intensity with which he loved “with every chink and crevice” of his being. There’s a touch of scandal, plenty of laughter, and deep admiration for the great man—who, fittingly, held a profound love for the city of Boston.
