Excerpt from Mr. Dickens Goes to the PlayBut I should, perhaps, tell how this fresh gathering of the Dickens material came about. It really happened last Christmas Eve; when, in the early afternoon, I encountered on Fifth Avenue the redoubtable J. M. Kerrigan of the Abbey Theatre, Dublin. Kerrigan always has to stop and think when you ask him what country he is in and he has a delightful way of never being committed to any destination. Therefore he was all in readiness when I suggested that we make the round of the studios, he to sing Christmas Waits for our drinks. He sang many old snatches that afternoon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
