CHARLES DICKENS: HOME ON THE RANGE

December 4 at 7:30 p.m. | Livestream Event

Austin Playhouse presents Charles Dickens: Home on the Range featuring excerpts from Dickens' works woven through a lecture written and compiled by Francesca Christian, Ev Lunning and Derek Webster.

Victorian England meets the Wild West in this special evening for history buffs, Dickens fans, and everyone who loves exploring exciting and unexpected connections. Ev Lunning will lead audiences through the lecture which also includes dramatic readings from Marc Pouhé, Andrea Osborn Ginder, and Katherine Schroeder.

Charles Dickens never made it to Texas on his tours to the United States, but pioneer Texans certainly read his novels, and his novels still provide striking commentary on Texas history—from the Revolution to the present day. From 1845 to 1855—from imminent statehood to the opening of the first telegraph office—we examine the influence of Dickens on the Lone Star State.

This event will stream live at 7:30 p.m. on December 4 with a live Q&A after.

Tickets start at $9 with Pick-Your-Price
