    A lovely and effective adaptation of a great story from Charles Dickens. Ian Bonner gives ample opportunity for a director and actors to create great atmosphere and offer the audience an edge of their seat experience. Great fun!

The characters in the original short story are all white men, but it would work just fine with women and other ethnicities.

The Signal Man - a night watchman
Charles - A passerby
