Cricket broadcast - the director's cut

Different Stages presents its first online reading of 2021. Free to view Live on January 6 at 7pm CST; available on demand Jan 7-16 on the Different Stages TH-cam Channel.
Charles Dickens’ The Cricket on the Hearth adapted by Norman Blumensaadt, with the assistance of Karen Jambon, Katherine Schroeder and the cast. Charles Dickens is often described as the man who invented Christmas but it is not quite true. The songs and stories of Christmas, its traditional foods and gifts, its religious and social rites are very much part of lower-and middle-class English life. Dickens made a popular festival mean more.
