A hilarious musical journey through the best of Dickens’s classic works and into the twisted corners of the author’s colourful life.
This is the life and works of Charles Dickens as never seen before. It is fast, furious and in five-part harmony. This unique interpretation gives audiences a light-hearted insight into an incredible man: from his bleak childhood to his complicated marriage, numerous children and his final years.
With instruments from acoustic guitar to accordion and harmonica to horns, and using an incredible mix of musical styles, the cast gives voice to a host of Dickens's most eccentric and loved characters.
