SPOTLIGHT SCRIPT:
A GHOST TALE FOR MR. DICKENS

A Ghost Tale for Mr. Dickens JR. finds Jack and Annie in Victorian London where legendary author Charles Dickens is at the height of his popularity as a writer. Despite his success, though, Dickens is so upset by the horrible conditions of the poor in his city that he has chosen to give up writing forever. The siblings disguise themselves as chimney sweeps and manage to make friends with the illustrious novelist. Sharing his compassion and concern for the underprivileged, they magically conjure three ghosts who convince Mr. Dickens that his writing can be a force for change – and inspire him to write one of the greatest holiday stories of all time.

This show is available in a 60 minute version to be performed by youth AND as a TYA version with a flexible cast for professional theatres.
