Little Dorrit

In this bold adaptation of the iconic novel, we are transported to India during the British Raj, where Little Dorrit, a young, loyal daughter, works tirelessly as a seamstress to provide for her family. But when a young gentleman follows her, hoping to discover his family’s secrets, both their lives are soon turned on their axes. In a harsh and punishing world, it is Little Dorrit’s kind-hearted nature that helps her impoverished family climb the ladder to a world of riches and prosperity – and back down again. A world premiere of an impassioned adaptation that powerfully satirises class, wealth and British-Indian relations during colonial rule.
