Ribcaged Productions had such a success last festive season with their produc­ tion of “A Dickensian Christ­ mas” which was performed in Ribches ter arid at Whalley ' Abbey, that they are revisit the . famous writings of Charles , Dickens and other authors'


from the same period again this Christmas. All the old favourites will

Dickens made to the spirit and


popular appeal of Christmas with his stories, particularly the redemption of the miser Scrooge, is well known.The stories were originally written


for papers and his magazine in episodic form, but were so popular that Dickeris devised


his own public readings which hegave himself. Scenes from “Nicholas


Nickleby”, “The Old Curiosity Shop”, “Great Expectations” and other Dickens classics' will be enacted, and “guest”"


writers such as Anne Bronte and the well-loved diary of


Mr Pooter will also be repre­ sented.
