  • A vehicle for Simon Callow shows handsomely why he is one of our greatest actors.

    A Walk Back in Time

    Simon Callow gives a magnificent, often moving performance -- indeed many magnificent moving performances in this living literary biography of Dickens life and work. Whether you are familiar or not with the works of Dickens, Callow's portrayals and evocations of Dickens life and his catalogue of characters is 90 minutes of your life well spent.
