Little Dickens

Ronnie Burkett is a legend of Canadian Theatre and is the winner of the Governor General’s Award and the Siminovitch Prize in Theatre. In Little Dickens, the cast of The Daisy Theatre take on the beloved holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, in the merriest marionette mash-up ever. Faded diva Esmé Massengill plays the role of miserly, drunken, bitter Esmé Scrooge in this Burkett-esque retelling of the Dickens classic. As always with an improvised Daisy show, there is no set script, and in keeping with the vaudeville show theme, popular Christmas songs will feature in a burlesque opening, sultry jazz solos, and the merriment of Fezziwig’s party. Little Dickens holds true to the heart of A Christmas Carol. It’s an R-rated affair, strictly for audiences 16 and older. The Belfry offers pay-what-you-want tickets to all performances.
