The Ghosts of Mr Dickens charts the author's voyage to America, where he is haunted by visions of his past and characters from his books.
During his journey across the Atlantic, the renowned author becomes plagued with guilt-ridden visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life - such as his parents, his wife, his companions and his children - appear alongside characters from his stories. These spirits return to guide (and taunt) him. They accompany him on the sea crossing and throughout his readings. Though his health is failing and his mind troubled, his performances are inspiring. But he struggles to contain the creations of his fevered imagination.As reality blurs into fiction, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, the author is compelled to revisit the sins of his past. But this is no tale of redemption. The Ghosts of Charles Dickens portrays two incarnations of the writer struggling against one another - real and fictional versions of himself; the actual man and the man he wishes to survive beyond the grave.
After a successful collaboration with 'Beyond Expectations', writers (Avril Silk and Martin Levinson) and Untold Theatre team up once more. This production combines ensemble performance and striking digital projections to explore the final years of Charles Dickens - the characters he created, and the ones that created him.
