For the past thirty-five Decembers, veteran solo performer, John D. Huston has packed his trunk, grown his beard & trundled off to towns & cities recreating the tours & performances of Victorian author, Charles Dickens to full houses & standing ovations.
“powerful one-man theatre…in the hands of a master storyteller.” The National Post
Now in its 35th season Huston performs A Christmas Carol narrating & playing all the characters from Scrooge to Tiny Tim using a remarkable range of accents, & body language. His astonishing tour de force presentation has been acclaimed as “mesmerizing,” “powerful”, & “Christmas magic” by reviewers across the country.
“A Christmas Carol a la Dickens” The Globe and Mail
In this unique performance, the beloved story grows from the interplay of Dickens's richly-crafted text & Huston's bravura performance. "The audience & I share the story," Huston says, "they bring their memories of it, from movies, theatre, reading the book, even from seeing me in previous years. Together we create a memory, a new layer of the story as we revisit it together. Dickens asked his audiences to imagine they were assembled in a friend's house hearing the story told: I ask mine to do the same."
“Vivid and lively...a consummate storyteller...mesmerising.” Winnipeg Free Press
With over 800 performances behind him Huston has no plans to retire. "I'm still in love with this wonderful story & magnificent characters. Doing the show is like visiting old friends.”
"I loved this production and urge all to see it." Ottawa Sun
“Remarkable... Huston easily becomes the range of Dickens’ incredible characters.” The Hamilton Spectator
