What the Dickens?

About the Show

Charles Dickens’ reading of A Christmas Carol isn’t going to plan: he finds himself re-cast as Scrooge, with his past, present and future being played out, as presented by two women he mistreated: his wife Catherine and his mistress, the actress Ellen Ternan, who was only 19 when Dickens first approached her – at the age of 45.This production takes place at Silsden Town Hall, Kirkgate, Silsden BD20 0AJ
