“This is masterful storytelling –
It’s much more theatrical than a simple reading, but it stays true to Dickens' voice.”
Theatremania.com, Zachary Stewart
“Standing in the parlor of the historic Merchant’s House Museum –
Jones summons Charles Dickens’ classic characters seamlessly.”
New York Daily News, Joe Dziemianowicz
“Jones skill as a performer and storyteller, combined with Dickens’ vivid descriptions
brings the events of ‘A Christmas Carol’ to perfect life”
EDGE New York, Brooke Pierce
