Hailing from Oxford England, Gerald Dickens, is following in the legacy of his great-great grandfather. In 1993, he created his first one-man show, an adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’ inspired by Charles’ own energetic performances of ‘A Christmas Carol’ during his1867 and 1868 American tours. Gerald has recorded ‘A Christmas Carol’ which has been regularly broadcast on radio. His other work has included various appearances on features and documentaries for British television. 

“Dickens has total celebrity status over here,” Gerald Dickens said in a New York Times interview.  “In England we’re blasé about him. Here in America audiences show me their copies of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and hold them out reverently, as though it were an altar cloth. The first year I did this show, I was in total shock.”  Gerald’s audiences still gather after his shows for autographs and a brush with literary history. 

Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, which is the American friendship city of Portsmouth, NH. This final performance of the 2013 American tour by Charles’ great-great grandson brings his most famous work full circle.
