About
This Christmas, discover the wonderous adventures of David Copperfield. ‘To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born…’ From heartbreak to hilarity, join us on this whistlestop tour of the personal history and observations of David Copperfield. This moving and magical adaptation by Simon Reade enters the semi-autobiographical world of Charles Dickens in a fun filled night at a Victorian music hall. Featuring vivid and unforgettable characters, the Richard Burton Company will take you on a musical discovery by way of songs by Chris Larner.
Director Jac Ifan Moore
