2pm, 2.30pm, 7pm & 7.30pm at New Wolsey Theatre
Presented by the Guildford Shakespeare Company
3 actors, 19 larger-than-life characters and timeless charm!
David Copperfield of Blunderstone Rookery (with no rooks in it) is quickly tossed into a world of peculiar aunts, tyrannical stepfathers and dismal boarding schools… but this is not your regular Victorian novel, and David is not your regular hero.
This is the whirlwind tale of a young man’s life from humble beginnings to literary renown; a journey of romance and adventure filled with lovable rogues, wily scoundrels and benevolent patrons.
Three actors bring to life 19 of Charles Dickens’ magnificently drawn characters, including the deliciously eccentric Betsy Trotwood, the scheming Uriah Heep, the adorable Peggotty and one of his greatest comedy creations – the irrepressible Mr Micawber.
Join for this enchanting romp stuffed with Victorian charm, larger-than-life characters and timeless wit… and kites… and donkeys…
From the company that brought you the international, 5-star hit Pride & Prejudice.
