Drama, dialogue, and some holiday favourites
We share some scenes from two of Charles Dickens’ series of Christmas books, The Chimes and A Christmas Carol along with passages from Thomas Carlyle’s Past and Present in a brief investigation of the portrayal of social justice in 1840s Britain. We ask the question, what does the past have to say to our current present?
We’re joined in the studio by Vancouver Island University professor Terri Doughty and by actors Katje van Loon, Bryce Hughes, Kieran Hunt, and Coralee Draginda, who are students in V.I.U.’s Theatre program.
