Un soir de Noël en 1843, Charles Dickens lit à ses enfants son nouveau conte, "Un chant de Noël" , racontant l'histoire du vieux Scrooge, un avare qui méprise les festivités. Les enfants, fascinés, demandent la suite, mais Dickens les fait patienter, attisant leur curiosité. Le récit inclut des extraits du livre, mettant en lumière le caractère aigri de Scrooge et son mépris pour l'esprit de Noël, contrastant avec l'enthousiasme de son neveu. Parallèlement, le texte explore l'engagement social de Dickens, qui utilise sa renommée pour dénoncer les injustices de la société victorienne, notamment l'exploitation des enfants dans les usines et les écoles pour indigents. Ses œuvres précédentes, comme "Oliver Twist" et "Nicholas Nickleby" , ont déjà eu un impact significatif en sensibilisant le public et en provoquant des réformes. Avec "Un chant de Noël" (A Christmas Carol), Dickens combine une histoire touchante avec une critique sociale, rendant le livre accessible à tous en imposant un prix modique. Le conte connaît un succès immense, contribuant à façonner les traditions de Noël en Angleterre et affirmant Dickens comme une figure majeure de la littérature engagée.

Marshall and Stan discuss the importance of cinematic perspective in storytelling, emphasizing how camera placement, movement, lighting, and color can influence the audience's emotions and perceptions. By manipulating these elements, artists can create dynamic and engaging narratives. They also touched on the contrast between continuity and dialectic approaches in film editing, using examples from classic and modern films to illustrate how these techniques enhance storytelling.

Those wacky Soongs are at it again, proving that Data's the only good one of the lineage as Eugenics criminal Dr Arik Soong has some genetically engineered children who are out causing diplomatic incidents.That's right, we've got not one, not two but three Enterprise episodes as we watch all of the Augment trilogy in one go. Should they be ranked as one episode or three? How much does this want to be Wrath of Khan? Have they stopped with the whole ‘Space War on Terror' and does Earth look less like a poor Xbox game background?In Borderland, the mission's off to a bad start as Orion slavers abduct a lot of the crew. Then in Cold Station 12 we get one of those TOS-style space stations dedicated to science and a ton of deadly viruses. Finally in The Augments, the CW version of Wrath of Khan plays out as petulant augments try to incite a war between the Federation and Klingons!00:02:42 What Non-Star Trek things have we been enjoying?00:16:53 Enterprise: Borderland00:46:26 Enterprise: Cold Station 1201:02:05 Enterprise: The AugmentsTalking points include: The 100, Doug Ramsey, Friday the 13th, We salute our anteater overlord, Nature Trail to Hell, A Hyrule Historia of Halloween films, Apocalypse War, Nemesis: The Warlock, The Goonies, Borderlands (video game), Keep on the Borderlands (adventure), Little Keep on the Borderlands (parody adventure), The WB & The CW dramas, Charlie's worrying WB & CW knowledge, WWF on the SNES, Big Show, wrestling is basically weird amdram, World Wide Wrestling, Brainiac Cosplay, seagulls (including special guest star: a seagull, Nicholas Nickleby, Andromeda Strain, The career of Richard Rhiele, Charlie has been banned from starting a cult, X-Files flashlights, calling out Alec Newman for not shaving his eyebrows, some very 2004 music, Ewan McGregor, Wrath of Khan (of course), Chris Claremont (of course), Wing Commander III: Wrath of the Tiger, UK TV censorship, Back to the Future and then we mock a royal's hair loss, despite Charlie's lack of hair.

As one of our finest actors, Keith Robinson carved a career on stages around the country. As a wit and treasured talisman, he kept us informed and in stitches with his regular postings on social media.Keith's repertoire of characters included the great clowns of Shakespeare. He was admired for his tremendous physicality in realising these endearing fools and jesters …. and for his dependability in affecting an audience.As a member of the ensemble at Belvoir Theatre, he contributed to the success of milestone productions such as Hamlet, The Tempest, The Alchemist, Night On Bald Mountain and Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Keith's extensive theatre credits also included the Dickensian epic Nicholas Nickleby with the Sydney Theatre Company …… and ventures into musical theatre with the premiere Australian production of Les Miserables. As performer and playwright - Keith co-authored (with Tony Taylor) the silly, comic romp The Popular Mechanicals - a fond valentine to the determined amateur acting troupe of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. In 2006 his life upon the boards looked like being snatched away when he was diagnosed with a neurological condition, called Guillain-Barre syndrome. His personal expression as an actor became compromised with limited mobility and the necessity of a wheelchair. But Keith was a determined thespian …. and in 2016 he returned to the Belvoir stage as a wise and moving Feste …. in a production of Twelfth Night. As well as a phenomenal talent, Keith was immensely entertaining and terrific company. Passionate, funny and tremendously informed, Keith traversed an eventful life on and off the stage. His legacy of compelling screen performances are fortunately preserved in television productions such as the anthology series Summer Love, season 2 of The Twelve and in a much discussed TVC for Australia post, where we may still be able to find him at various point of sale.This conversation, recorded for the STAGES podcast, took place in May 2021 when Keith was preparing to play Leonid Gayev in The Cherry Orchard at the Belvoir street theatre. It was to be the final time we would see Keith light up a stage. I hope this return episode brings you some comfort - and joy - relishing in Keith's wonderful anecdote, insightful wisdom - and that enormous laugh that instantly embraced it's listener.Vale Keith Robinson - you will be greatly missed.

"If it had not borne Mr. Dickens's name, it would in all probability have hardly met with a single reader; and if it has any popularity at all, it must derive it from the circumstance that it stands in the same relation to his other books as salad dressing stands in towards a complete salad. It is a bottle of the sauce in which Pickwick and Nicholas Nickleby were dressed, and to which they owed much of their popularity; and though it has stood open on the sideboard for a very long time, and has lost a good deal of its original flavour, the philosophic inquirer who is willing to go through the penance of tasting it will be, to a certain extent, repaid. He will have an opportunity of studying in its elements a system of cookery which procured for its ingenious inventor unparalleled popularity, and enabled him to infect the literature of his country with a disease which manifests itself in such repulsive symptoms that it has gone far to invert the familiar doctrines of the Latin Grammar about ingenuous arts, and to substitute for them the conviction that the principal results of a persistent devotion to literature are an incurable vulgarity of mind and of taste, and intolerable arrogance of temper." --from an original review of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

Avtorica recenzije: Marica Škorjanec Kosterca Bralca: Jasna Rodošek in Renato HorvatPrevedla Nada Grošelj: Ljubljana: Beletrina, 2021Naš skupni prijatelj je zadnji dokončani roman Charlesa Dickensa. Izjemno obsežno delo na 1060 straneh z vsemi odlikami genialnega, enega najbolj priljubljenih pisateljev 19. stoletja, ponuja nove razsežnosti v upodabljanju človekovih značajev in različnih družbenih skupin, ob tem pa presega pisateljevo sodobnost in je v svojem sporočilu enako pomembno, veljavno tudi za današnji čas. Zahtevno besedilo je odlično poslovenila dr. Nada Marija Grošelj in poskrbela tudi za temeljite sprotne opombe z obrazložitvami pojmov, ki bralcu sicer ne bi bili dostopni. Besede in fraze takratne londonske ljudske govorice prevajalka ustrezno nadomešča s slovenskim slengovskim ali pogovorno obarvanim besediščem. Naslov romana Naš skupni prijatelj lahko razumemo različno, saj ni označen z imenom, kot je pri romanih David Copperfield, Oliver Twist in Nicholas Nickleby, ali z vodilnim motivom, kot so Veliko pričakovanje, Pusta hiša, Povest o dveh mestih. Morda je ta skupni prijatelj John Harmon, ki naj bi utonil v Temzi, ali njegov drugi jaz; skrivnostni tujec z drugimi imeni je v romanu ves čas prisoten, a njegova življenjska zgodba se razreši šele na koncu. O prijateljih se veliko pogovarjajo v salonih; saj gospe rade predstavljajo goste, ki jih sploh ne poznajo, kot najboljše, najdražje, najtesnejše prijatelje. V viktorijanski dobi je Združeno kraljestvo doživljalo razcvet kapitalizma in veliko gospodarsko rast. Številni meščani so naglo obogateli, a sta jih povezovala pohlep in cilj, kako obogateti še bolj. Njihov skupni prijatelj je denar. Tudi žensko lepoto je mogoče dobro prodati, spodbuja izkušena dama kot zaščitnica svojo mlado prijateljico Bello: »Za denar se zagrebi, srček. Denar je tisto pravo!« Pisatelj z bogatimi, a tudi težkimi življenjskimi izkušnjami, zre na svet z ironično distanco. Njegove sodbe o ljudeh, ki se zbirajo na srečanjih po salonih povzpetnežev, presenečajo z ironijo, celo sarkazmom, gospa v elitni družbi je opisana kot kup kosti z vratom in nozdrvmi kot jahalni konj. »Gospod in gospa Veneering sta bila jara gospoda v jari hiši v jari londonski četrti. Vse pri Veneeringovih je bilo jaro in novo kot iz škatlice. Novo je bilo vse njuno pohištvo, novi vsi njuni prijatelji, nova vsa služinčad, nova njuna srebrnina, nova zaprega, novi konji, nove slike, pa tudi sama sta bila nova …« Skrivnostna zgodba o sinu najbogatejšega smetarja, starega skopuha, ki si je premoženje zaslužil s pobiranjem odpadkov, ob njegovi smrti pa za njim ostanejo velikanske gomile smeti, razkošna hiša, veliko denarja in, kot se izkaže, tri različne oporoke. V eni zapušča vse premoženje sinu, čigar truplo je »delavec na reki« izvlekel iz Temze, druga oporoka zapušča vse imetje britanski kroni, tretja za dediča imenuje dolgoletna služabnika pri skopem Smetarju, zakonca Boffin, vendar morata ob tem izpolniti nenavadne pogoje, poskrbeti za dekle, ki jo je »zlati smetar« kot majhno deklico določil za nevesto svojemu sinu. Ljudje so dobri ali slabi. Tatovi in roparji niso le nepismeni »delavci na reki«, ki se preživljajo s plenom iz Temze, med podleži so tudi posamezniki iz višjih krogov – politiki, poslovneži; ti pa so v svoji stremuški dejavnosti bolj prefinjeni. Goljufivi izposojevalec denarja se pri svojih umazanih poslih skriva za hrbtom plemenitega starega Žida, ki naj bi bil kriv za premoženjske brodolome. Dickens je kljub vsemu prepričan, da zločinu sledi tudi kazen: »In to je večni zakon, kajti Zlo se pogosto ustavi pri samem sebi in umre s povzročiteljem, Dobro pa nikoli.« V romanu srečamo veliko bogatih in revnih družin, zakonskih parov, dobrih in slabih dvojic, ki jih povezujejo posli, očetov in vdanih hčera, izumetničenih očarljivk, domišljavih gostiteljic, podrejenih zakonskih mož, nadležnih gostov, samotnih nesrečnih posameznikov – bogatašev in siromakov. Tudi v tem romanu je Dickens zagovornik revežev in sočuten do vseh trpečih. Srdito obsoja zlorabo zakonov, ki naj bi zaščitili siromake. Pretresljivi so prizori o umiranju ponosne starke, ki se skuša preživeti brez miloščine, vendar je v tem boju poražena. Dr. Janko Kos v spremni besedi k romanu Naš skupni prijatelj o Dickensu piše: »Izhodišče mu ni misel o politično-ekonomskih ozadjih, ampak o moralni in estetski degradaciji, ki jo v meščanski svet vnaša liberalna želja po moči, udobju in ugledu.« Pisateljev humor, značilen za vsa njegova dela, je še vedno prisoten pri opisovanju smešnih plati, čudaštva, prizanesljiv je do neškodljivih napak, afektiranega govoričenja ali koketnosti postarane gospe s seznamom ljubimcev. V odkritem sovraštvu do lopovov vseh vrst se ironija stopnjuje v sarkazem. Življenjske zgodbe o družinah in posameznikih, vsakdanjih in tudi nenavadnih literarnih junakih, se dogajajo v petdesetih letih 19. stoletja, ko je bil London največje in najbogatejše mesto sveta. Vendar je Dickensov pogled na velemestni London mračen: »Bil je meglen londonski dan in megla je bila težka in temna. Živi London je pekočih oči in razdraženih pljuč mežikal, hropel in se dušil; neživi London je bil sajasta prikazen, razklana med namenoma, da bi bila vidna in nevidna, zato pa ni bila ne eno ne drugo .V trgovinicah so gorele plinske svetilke z izmozganim in nesrečnim izrazom, kakor da bi se zavedala, da kot nočna bitja nimajo kaj iskati pod soncem…« V takšnem okolju poteka razreševanje kriminalnih dejanj, ubojev, samomorov in ropov, a pisatelj dopušča, da se posameznik pod vplivom hudih življenjskih preizkušenj lahko spremeni na bolje; dobrota v srečnem prijateljskem sožitju poveže podobno čuteče. Resnična zakonska sreča temelji na ljubezni, a tudi tu brez denarja ne gre. Frfrasta lepotica Bella se ob moževem bogastvu spremeni v ljubečo soprogo in srečno mater; Jenny Wrems, pritlikava šivilja za lutke, pa sanja o vonjavah cvetočih rož, ptičjem petju in ženinu, ki bo nekoč vstopil v njeno življenje. Sanje so edina prihodnost zanjo in za druge siromake, ki jih življenje ne bo nikoli obdarilo.

Keith Robinson is one of our finest actors. His repertoire of characters include the great clowns of Shakespeare. He has been admired for his tremendous physicality in realising these endearing fools and jesters, and for his dependability to tell a good story.As a member of the ensemble at Belvoir Theatre, he has contributed to the success of milestone productions that include Hamlet, The Tempest, The Alchemist, Night On Bald Mountain and Picasso at the Lapin Agile.Extensive theatre credits also include the epic Nicholas Nickleby with the Sydney Theatre Company and ventures into musical theatre with the premiere Australian production of Les Miserables.Another terrific accomplishment saw Keith co-write (with Tony Taylor) the silly, comic romp The Popular Mechanicals - a fond valentine to the determined amateur acting troupe of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.In 2006 his life upon the boards looked like being snatched away when he was diagnosed with a neurological condition, called Guillain-Barre syndrome. His personal expression as an actor became compromised with limited mobility and the necessity of a wheelchair.Keith is a determined thespian and in 2016 he returned to the Belvoir stage as Feste in a production of Twelfth Night. TV gigs have followed too.Next week he is once again on the Belvoir stage as Leonid Gayev in The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov.Keith is immensely entertaining and terrific company.

With his very personal, first-hand stories, we hear about Yul Brynner, Carol Channing, Stephen Sondheim, Lena Horne, David Merrick, Frank Langella, Eartha Kitt, Eva Le Gallienne, Arthur Miller, Richard Rodgers, Sandy Duncan, and numerous other theater greats with whom Ellis worked and learned the tricks of the trade. Among the shows he publicized are the original Broadway productions of Into the Woods, 42ND Street, Fences, The Elephant Man, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, Big River, and the award-winning revivals of The King and I (Yul Brynner), Dracula (Frank Langella), Peter Pan (Sandy Duncan) and Morning’s at Seven. Call My Publicist! – The Starry Education of a Broadway Press Agent is about a love affair with the New York theatre, and like all romances it has its share of joys and heartbreaks. Peter Marks of The Washington Post cheered, “Call My Publicist! is wildly entertaining. I loved it." Michael Riedel, author of the best-sellers “Razzle Dazzle” and “Singular Sensation,” exclaimed, “Call My Publicist! is brilliant. I loved every minute of it."
Set in the tumultuous political and cultural landscape of the UK in the 1980s, Billy & the Dreamerz tells the story of a small-town band presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. As winner of a national music contest, Billy & the Dreamerz are offered the ultimate prize, a tour of the USA.

Billy & the Dreamerz arrives at a time of resurgent interest in all things 80’s, uniting music fans across multiple generations. With its emphasis on the strong bonds of friendship in the face of working class struggles, Billy & the Dreamerz is a modern Musical inspired by the Dickens classics ‘Nicholas Nickleby’ (novel) and ‘Oliver!’ (Musical). Refracted through the lens of 1980’s music and culture, Billy & the Dreamerz explores the gulf between opportunity and obligation - a gulf that is ultimately bridged by love.
TORCH Book at Lunchtime webinar on Charles Dickens and the Properties of Fiction: The Lodger World by Dr Ushashi Dasgupta. Book at Lunchtime is a series of bite-sized book discussions held weekly during term-time, with commentators from a range of disciplines. The events are free to attend and open to all. When Dickens was nineteen years old, he wrote a poem for Maria Beadnell, the young woman he wished to marry. The poem imagined Maria as a welcoming landlady offering lodgings to let. Almost forty years later, Dickens died, leaving his final novel unfinished - in its last scene, another landlady sets breakfast down for her enigmatic lodger. These kinds of characters are everywhere in Dickens's writing. Charles Dickens and the Properties of Fiction: The Lodger World explores the significance of tenancy in his fiction. In nineteenth century Britain the vast majority of people rented, rather than owned, their homes. Instead of keeping to themselves, they shared space - renting, lodging, taking lodgers in, or simply living side-by-side in a crowded modern city. Charles Dickens explored both the chaos and the unexpected harmony to be found in rented spaces, the loneliness and sociability, the interactions between cohabitants, the complex gender dynamics at play, and the relationship between space and money. In Charles Dickens and the Properties of Fiction, Dr Ushashi Dasgupta demonstrates that a cosy, secluded home life was beyond the reach of most Victorian Londoners, and considers Dickens's nuanced conception of domesticity. Panel includes: Dr Ushashi Dasgupta is the The Jonathan and Julia Aisbitt Fellow and Tutor in English at Pembroke College, Oxford. Her research centres around nineteenth-century fiction, specialising in the relationship between literature, space and architecture, in particular, the ways in which fiction articulates urban and domestic experience. Charles Dickens and the Properties of Fiction is her first book, and her next project asks what it means to feel at home in a book, exploring the practice of re-reading, from the nineteenth century to the present. Professor Sophia Psarra is Professor of Architecture and Spatial Design at University College London. Her research is transdisciplinary, spanning architecture and urbanism, spatial morphology, history, and cultural studies, and has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, NSF-USA and the Onassis Foundation. Professor Psarra is also a prize-winning practicing architect, and her work has resulted in creative installations and design projects as well as a number of publications, which include The Venice Variations and Architecture and Narrative. Professor Jeremy Tambling is a writer and critic who has been engaged with education and teaching at all levels and across the range, including holding the Chair of Comparative Literature in Hong Kong, and of Literature in Manchester. As a literary scholar, he uses critical and cultural theory, especially the culture of cities, and particularly that of London, as a way of approaching writing on many forms and periods of literature, as well as film and opera. Professor Tambling’s many publications include, most recently, Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby, and the Dance of Death.

Once again we return to 221B Con for a live podcast, this year with BBC Sherlock's David Nellist! Join BSBs Amy, Ashley, Taylor, and Sarah as we learn more about David's way of acting, his headcanons about Stamford (is he SECRETLY MORIARTY?!), what type of dog Stamford has, as well as his favorite roles he's played and wants to play. David Nellist will be best known to Sherlock Holmes fans as portraying Stamford in BBC's Sherlock. He trained at Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance and has since taken on a number of acting roles both on and off screen. Stage credits include War Horse, Billy Elliot, Nicholas Nickleby, Taming of the Shrew, and Cherry Orchard. Other television credits are 55 Degrees North, The Bill, and Breeze Block, and he's been in the films My Boy Lollipop, Bad Dads, and Leda. You can find him on twitter @nellidge.
A couple of weeks ago, I was sick with the April flu, lying in bed in a New York apartment, and trying to distract myself by watching one of the film adaptations of "Nicholas Nickleby." I found myself repeatedly moved to tears, especially when anything good or kind happened. Okay, part of this was that I felt a little vulnerable, and may have over identified with poor tubercular Smike. But another part, I'm convinced, was the excitement generated by pure moral language, which you don't encounter so much in modern culture.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Five contemporary novelists examine the craft of Dickens's prose, and reflect on how the giant of British nineteenth-century fiction is both a role model and a shadow looming over their own writing. Taking as their starting point a favourite extract from one of Dickens's novels, each writer discuss Dickens's themes, narrative techniques and writing craft, and tells us what they themselves have learnt from it. They offer thoughtful, unusually engaged and focused critical appreciation of Dickens's skill, as well as valuable insights into their own work and how they themselves wrestle with the subject and technique under discussion. In the third programme in the series, novelist, essayist and performer A L Kennedy takes an extract from Nicholas Nickleby as her starting point for a provocative exploration of poverty and misery - themes which loom large in Dickens's work, and which are never far from her own fiction.First broadcast in December 2011.
