Join Guilford Poets Guild for our Second Thursday Series on December 12th at 6:30pm! A Christmas Carol will be shared by Jennie Munro in the Meeting Room at Guilford Free Library.
To hear Charles Dickens’ timeless classic, A Christmas Carol, in his own words, is to experience the story for the first time. To hear it told in Jennifer Munro’s dramatic and thoroughly English interpretation, is to experience it as Dickens’ himself intended: with just the power of the human voice to bring his irresistible cast of characters, Scrooge, Marley’s Ghost, the Fezziwigs, the Cratchits, and the rascals in the “low browed beetling shop”, to vibrant and authentic life. However, Dickens’ real genius is that the moments of heartbreak and poignancy are made bearable by scenes of hilarity and dry British humor. Above all, this memorable story reminds us that generosity toward those less fortunate than ourselves lies at the very heart of personal happiness – and isn’t that what the Christmas season is all about?
This program is free and open to all.
