What the Dickens, it's Christmas!
What the Dickens, its Christmas!
Graham Pountney & Mansel David; The Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, "Crummles Part II" & Graham's "Christmas - in Words".
Following last years enchanting Dickensian performance, Mansel David returns — this time joined by our very own member and talented thespian Graham Pountney for an evening of festive frivolity, theatre, and Dickensian magic.
Set across two acts, with a two-course supper served between and during the performance, this promises to be a wonderfully atmospheric night of laughter, warmth, and storytelling in the Mermaid Room.
Enjoy a touch of 19th-century theatre as we celebrate the spirit of Christmas at Sea View Yacht Club.
