Event
The Very Dickens!
This one-man show presents veteran actor Neil Flint Worden as Charles Dickens performing an evening from Dickens'1868 tour of America. Adapted and directed by Gaen Murphree from historical and literary sources, "The Very Dickens!" invokes an entire universe of stories and characters using the power of Dickens' incomparable language, the actor's skill, and the audience's imagination. Act I, "Mr. Peggotty's Story" from "David Copperfield", presents a tragic tale of innocence betrayed. Act II, "Fanny Squeers Tea Party" from "Nicholas Nickleby", is a farcical romp through the turns and twists of unrequited love. Over the course of the evening, Worden brings to life over 20 characters, including "The Inimitable" himself.
Performances will open with live preshow concertina playing by Colin Flood, with selections from the music of Charles Dickens and his time, and an audience sing-a-long of Dickens favorite, "Home Sweet Home."
Shows are May 20 & 21 at 7:30pm and May 22 at 2:30pm. Preshow music starts 30 minutes before performance time. The May 22nd performance will be a "pay what you can" show, with tickets available only at the door. Tickets are $12 general admission, $6 for children 8 & under.
