Dawidziak raising Dickens again

Mark Dawidziak as Dickens

PD and former BJ TV critic Mark Dawidziak will present “An Afternoon With Charles Dickens” at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 3 in Cuyahoga County’s Orange Branch Library, the James A. Garfield meeting room.

Mark’s Largely Literary Theater Company has portrayed Dickens for years in many venues in the BJ’s 5-county circulation area, or at least what used to be the BJ’s circulation area in better times when the BJ went after what publisher Ben Maidenburg described as "boxcar numbers."

This time the Dickens selections will include excerpts from “Dombey and Son,” “A Christmas Carol” and “A Tale of Two Cities.”

It’s part of the Orange Library’s spring British Heritage Series sponsored by the Friends of the Orange Branch Library.
