This solo show, created and performed by Blake Montgomery, presents an intimate and slightly absurd portrayal of the famous author: now over 200 years old, he finds himself once again booked to perform his overly familiar Christmas tale — just as he has every December since 1853.

Dickens, however, has a plan. Unbeknownst to the theater's management, he intends to abandon the performance in lieu of a simply hosting a holiday party.

Perhaps Dickens will get his wish. Or, perhaps, the Spirits of Christmas might intervene to give him what he really needs, setting him on a path to rediscover the beauty in his work — and the joy of sharing it with an audience, one more time.
