Production details

A virtuoso solo performance of Dicken's much-loved novel, performed by Cornish-based actor and founder member of Kneehigh, David Mynne. Unforgettable characters including the terrifying Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and the cold and beautiful Estella are vividly brought to life in an anarchic, joyful recreation of this glorious tale. Using Dickens' original text (well, mostly!) David Mynne's skilful performance of this epic story is deft, daft, delightful... and definitely Dickens!
