British actor Pip Utton performs his one-man show about Charles Dickens, presenting the writer as a supremely contented man now that he has left his wife, taken up with his sister-in-law, and found a second career reading his works to enraptured audiences.

Described by The Daily Telegraph as “the doyen of the one-man show,” Utton’s solo performances recreate various historic characters and fictional figures, including characters from A Christmas Carol.
