An Evening With Gerald Dickens 

Festival regular Gerald Dickens – the great, great grandson of the legendary author Charles Dickens – returns to Lymm with a double-bill performance:

Mr Dickens is Coming!

A light-hearted and varied look at the life and character of Charles Dickens. Gerald uses scenes from the great author’s works, diary extracts and observations from those who knew and worked with him. With its fresh and modern perspective, ‘Mr Dickens is Coming!’ always proves to be an audience favourite

Sikes and Nancy

This is Victorian theatre at its most dramatic. Most of Charles’ readings were safe, well-known and often comic passages from his novels, but in 1869 he introduced ‘Sikes and Nancy’ to his repertoire. When Dickens performed what he called ‘The Murder’ he apparently judged the evening’s success by the number of ladies who fainted in horror.
Today it has lost none of its power. First aid will be at hand!
