Introducing Mr. Charles Dickens

2012 is the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens, and the year
will be marked by international celebrations of his life and work.
Although he was an Englishman of the Victorian era, Dickens's work
transcends his time, language, and culture. His public readings of his
work brought him to Boston in the mid 1800s. Throughout the world, his
writings remain a major influence that continue to inspire films, art,
and literature. The Library joins in the global commemoration of this
much loved literary giant by presenting Albert Cremin in chapters of his
one-man show, Introducing Mr. Charles Dickens.

Mr. Cremin, a veteran actor and Somerville native, has had an extensive
career as an actor, director, choreographer, writer, night club
entertainer, comic, producer, and teacher. He has performed Introducing Mr. Charles Dickens
for over 20 years in the Boston area, New York City, and Connecticut.
For this special event, he will be offering selections from Captain Boldheart and David Copperfield.

This performance is recommended for people ages 10 and older. The
program is free and is funded by the Friends of the Library. Light
refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!
