This Holiday season, for the ninth consecutive year, local actor, Kirk Simpson will bring to life A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Taking a year hiatus from his usual one-man, musical due to Covid-19 restrictions, Simpson brings a new 2020 safety version of the timeless classic, with his theatrical brilliance and characterizations performed behind a protective screen for your dining comfort.
Returning to its storytelling roots, Dinner with Dickens: A Christmas Carol instantly puts guests in the Holiday spirit as the fabulous tale of love and redemption comes to life during dinner. Audiences interact with that old curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge prior to the show opening, giving them an intimate taste of who this “wicked old screw” really is. With a little help from the audience, Simpson, as Charles Dickens did over 150 years ago, performs a powerhouse, one-man dramatic performance, bringing ALL the beloved classic characters to life while guests enjoy Clay Hill Farm’s delicious drinks and fab fare from the new winter coastal classic menu.
Clay Hill Farm Presents… ‘Dinner with Dickens: A Christmas Carol’ opens on Thursday, December 10th for a six-show run.
Evening performances are Thursday, December 10th & 17th @ 6pm, and Matinées are Saturday, December 12th & 19th, and Sunday, December 13th & 20th @ 1pm.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children 7-13 – plus the cost of dinner from the a la carte menu.
Seating is very limited. All tables are spaced to exceed the Maine CDC requirements and Simpson will perform the show behind a protective screen.
