Charles Dickens'
Devised, adapted and performed by James Hyland, Raewyn Lippert and Tom Peters
Warehouse Theatre Croydon, Friday 24 October to Sunday 16 November For booking information see www.warehousetheatre.co.uk
With buckets of energy, original new music, mime, movement and puppetry, Icon Theatre bring Dickens’ classic novel to life in a powerful new stage adaptation.
At age 18, the beautiful Louisa is forced to marry a man she detests, while watching her brother descend into a gambling addiction.
Factory worker Stephen Blackpool hides the endless repercussions of a shameful early marriage, while his factory co-workers bay for his blood.
The arrival of handsome James Harthouse unleashes the desires of these isolated lives, casting them from the dark mills of Coketown into the high spirited world of the Victorian circus.
Fast and furious, this exuberant production celebrates the classic novel in Icon Theatre’s distinctive, engaging style.
'...innovative in its use of mime, physical action and puppetry. Icon Theatre here shows us how important our imaginations are in creating and responding to theatre.'
Lucy Rix, Worcester
