Simon Callow: Bring On the Bottled Lightning - Mr Dickens In Person
-

This past event was fully booked!

We are proud to welcome Simon Callow to the University of Aberdeen for this special performance.

Simon Callow, the inimitable actor, renowned for his roles impersonating Dickens and Dickensian characters, will be on campus to present a one-off performance.

Admission £5, tickets strictly limited so booking essential.  BOOK HERE.

Simon Callow's Bring on the Bottled Lightning - Mr Dickens in Person is a lively evocation of Dickens as an actor. The performance includes extracts from Dickens's repertoire of public readings and Simon's thoughts on Dickens as a performer.

In a glittering career spanning five decades Callow has performed in films and on television and in one-man shows throughout Britain. In addition to his credentials as an actor, he has written sixteen books, including a distinguished volume on Dickens and the theatre, entitled Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World.

The performance is a further event in this year’s celebrations of Dickens’s associations with Aberdeen, following this past summer’s highly successful international conference of the Dickens Fellowship, and the superb exhibition of Dickens materials from the University's Special Collections in the Library Gallery http://www.abdn.ac.uk/library/about/special/exhibitions/
