Charles Dickens visited North America on two occasions - first in 1842, which included a visit to Montreal, then in 1867-68. During his second visit an ailing Dickens toured the eastern United States performing 76 shows, each a live recitation of a specially edited version of one of his more popular works, including A Christmas Carol. Audiences, already familiar with the stories, loved his readings, which were filled with dramatic gestures, richly accented voices and vivid imagery. | |
|
We are pleased to welcome John D. Huston to Montreal to reprise his highly acclaimed
performance as Charles Dickens. In this one-man show, A Christmas Carol is performed as you have never seen it before, as Dickens himself performed it almost a century and a half ago! Huston's every word, gesture, and movement will make you believe you are watching the great Victorian author himself, as he appeared during his second North American tour. |

Based on Dickens's specially edited script, Huston gives a lively and authentic
performance. Every character comes to life with his or her own voice;
each scene is woven out of the author's own words. The beloved story
grows from the interplay of Dickens's richly-crafted text, Huston's bravura
performance and your own imagination. Huston's website quotes dozens of rave reviews from his nationwide Christmas season tours including: -- "A Christmas Carol is powerful one-man theatre ... in the hands of a master storyteller." The National Post -- "Absolutely fabulous ... brings the work to life, reproducing ... all of the characters" CBC Radio Ottawa | ||
