Attention UK theatres! Bring some of these festive shows to your audiences!

Bring festive shows to your theatre this Christmas with Robert Powell and Liza Goddard. Audiences will be taken on a journey to the Victorian era which will include renowned historical figures such as Charles Dickens, Prince Albert, Queen Victoria, Mrs. Beeton, Thomas Hardy and many more. All this will be interwoven with traditional tunes and carols.  

‘A Victorian Christmas’ with Robert Powell and Liza Goddard

We celebrate the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth, and the birth, during her reign, of Christmas as we know it today.

The Victorian Christmas was a time of magic, hope, and goodwill to all people. Prince Albert introduced the Christmas tree to England in 1846, the first greeting cards were sent in 1861, Charles Dickens revelled in his seasonal stories, culminating in the greatest tale of all, A Christmas Carol. And Mrs Beeton was on hand to give advice on the culinary delights of roast turkey, plum puddings, and mince pies!

We invite you to join us in celebrating the delights of Christmas past, in the company of Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Mrs. Beeton, Thomas Hardy, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and, much loved by the Queen, Gilbert and Sullivan. The festive spirit is enhanced by familiar and much-loved music by Handel, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Vivaldi, Bizet, Scott Joplin, Debussy, and traditional tunes and carols.

With Clive Conway-flute and Christine Croshaw-piano.

‘Christmas with Dickens’ with Robert Powell and Liza Goddard

Charles Dickens can truly be said to have invented our traditional Christmas. In this seasonal show we reveal Dickens the celebrity, the social reformer, the actor, the entrepreneur, and, above all, Dickens the supreme entertainer. We celebrate his life and times through his writings and scenes from his best-loved novels, with a seasonal twist, tasting the varied delights of winter ice-skating, Pickwick's Christmas party, the magic of the newly-introduced Christmas tree, festive feasting and philanthropy, and goodwill to all men! Not forgetting, of course, that perennial favourite, A Christmas Carol, and all interwoven with seasonal merriment and music.

Although a writer from the Victorian era, Dickens’s work transcends his time, language and culture. He remains a massive contemporary influence throughout the world and his writings continue to inspire film, TV, art, literature, artists and academia.
