David Copperfield

David has a doting mother. When he grows up he marries her image, the ditsy Dora. This is his tragedy. Even Peggotty’s extended family on Yarmouth beach cannot escape the effects. But his tragedy is also our comedy as Uriah Heep and Mr Micawber, Aunt Betsey and Mr Dick, Steerforth and Traddlles, all criss-cross David’s wayward path towards his Agnes, his true soul mate.

This lovely adaptation by Simon Reade, with songs by the inimitable Chris Larner, is performed by just three actors and a musician, bringing over thirty characters bursting to life between them. Set in a music hall atmosphere, by turns hilarious and moving, they tell the tale of The Personal History, Adventures and Observations of David Copperfield, in a whirlwind tour de force presentation of this most delightful, insightful and extraordinary book.
