Coming to Theatre Royal on 2nd November!
Four actors meet up to do Dickens the way Dickens himself would have done Dickens: turning up to a venue and reading out his longwinded books for hours on end. Realising that this may not be the best way of entertaining an audience, they decide to create their own show focussing on Dicken’s lesser-known characters such as Silage Honeygams, Mr. McCorblimey, and Rumpus Fuzzywig!
David Spicer’s mad Dickensian mash-up will have you rolling in the aisles and the Dickens turning in his grave and leave the audience, like Oliver Twist, asking for more!
Steven Arnold, best known as for his fifteen-year stint on Coronation Street as Ashley Peacock, will join the cast of four actors in David Spicer’s farcical fusion of Dicken’s classics.
The Northern Comedy Theatre originally produced the Doing series of zoom-based online performances at the start of the March 2020 lockdown, with titles such as Doing Whodunnit and Doing Shakespeare, earning them six OnComms awards and a special ONEOFF award from Off West End. Many of these shows and more have now been adapted for live performance
