Overview
“I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is David Copperfield.”
Pronounced unlucky at birth, tossed into a world of eccentric aunts, terrible step-fathers and dismal boarding schools, David Copperfield’s life gets off to a rocky start. In this coming-of-age adventure, our eponymous hero scrambles and scribbles his way from orphanhood to authorship.
Three actors. Dozens of Charles Dickens’ most memorable characters, from Peggotty to Uriah Heep and Mr Micawber. A delightful romp stuffed with Victorian charm and timeless wit, David Copperfield is the irresistible new festive treat from the team behind the “uproariously funny” Pride & Prejudice (The Stage).
