What the Dickens?

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 Halle St Peter’s, 40 Blossom Street, Ancoats, Manchester M4 6BF
