The Dickens You Say!

Delvena Theatre Company Presents: The Dickens You Say!

Join the Athol Public Library at 568 Main Street, Athol, when we welcome the Delvena Theatre Company for The Dickens You Say.

Charles Dickens wrote some of the most powerful, imaginative, and adored novels of all time. Using lots of humor, the actors will take the audience on a journey into the life and loves of the great man. Through the use of monologues and scenes, the actors will embody the ridiculous, the romantic, and the frightening characters that Mr. Dickens so richly created.

They will also explore with the audience some of Mr. Dickens romantic adventures, and how he loved with every “***** and crevice” of his being. There’s a bit of scandal, and a whole lot of worship for the great man who loved Boston profoundly. After the show the cast will come out of character for a discussion regarding Charles Dickens.

The Delvena Theatre Company was founded in 1992 and has performed at various venues. The company was nominated for five Independent Reviewers of New England awards. Presentations of Anna Weiss and Beyond Therapy were included on Theatre Mirror’s best play list and Blue Heart was placed on Aisle Say’s best list.

This library program is supported in part by the Orange Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, and in part by the Friends of the Athol Public Library.

Free and open to the public. Registration required! You can register online with our library calendar: The Dickens You Say.
