Throughout the 1860s Charles Dickens gave a series of readings from his novels and his repertoire featured performances that involved safe\, well-known and often comic passages from his novels.

Today it has lost none of its power. \nWhere did Charles get his love for the macabre?  Possibly it was from his childhood nurse who would regale him with the gruesome story\, ‘The Tale of Captain Murderer’.  At age six\, young Charles delighted in the awful and bloodthirsty tale. \nPerformances take place at 1:00 and 6:00 pm. Mr. Dickens will answer questions from the audience after each performance. Performance only: $25; $20 for Members; $10 for children under 12.
