Francis Marion University’s Artist Series presents “Night Before Christmas Carol by Dr. Elliot Engel” on Nov. 18. This one-man holiday production will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapman Auditorium of the McNair Science Building.
“The Night Before Christmas Carol” is a historically accurate and highly humorous holiday production by renowned Dickens scholar, Elliot Engel.
It takes place in 1843 on the night that Charles Dickens dreamed up his idea for a ghostly little Christmas book that became world famous.
As Dickens composes his winter morality tale, the audience gets a glimpse into the life of the real Dickens and from whom he drew inspiration.
David zum Brunnen cleverly performs this one-man production, taking on the role of Dickens and more than 17 Dickensian characters in this 90-minute performance.
Critics say, “David zum Brunnen, does it very well, indeed ... zum Brunnen’s performance is lively, physical and energetic.”
Even Charles Dickens own great- grandson, Cedric Dickens, chimes in with “David absolutely becomes my great-grandfather on stage!”
Director Serena Ebhardt has honed this production into a spirited holiday present.
Admission is free and no advance reservations are needed. For details, call (843) 661-1385.
