The Norfolk Coach at Christmas is an East-Anglian retelling of Charles Dickens’s 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol. This campy, out-of-town version has no ghosts. It does, however have a rich-man and a very smart beggar.
Roscoe Arbuckle could have been an acclaimed tenor in any of the world’s opera houses, but he chose vaudeville and kept America laughing for decades. Fatty Arbuckle wasn’t a pioneer with an idea of entertaining “the troops” but he sure did his share to make it happen. Many of his antics were recorded with Kodak A3 cameras; we have real-photo postcards as evidence.
