"Join “Charles Dickens” in his study for a very special night.The Night Before Christmas Carol is an historically accurate and highly humorous holiday production by renowned Dickens scholar Elliot Engel. It is set in 1843 on the night that Charles Dickens dreams up his idea for a ghostly little Christmas book that becomes world famous. As the winter morality tale is composed, “Dickens” shares his inspirations with the audience members. Award-winning actor David zum Brunnen portrays Charles Dickens, as well as 17 familiar characters from the famous Christmas Carol. Dickens’ own great-grandson, Cedric Charles Dickens, has said of the actor in this role: “David [zum Brunnen]—absolutely becomes my great-grandfather on stage!”
