Dickens & Co
About this event
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” but what if the ending has gone missing? Step into a world where stories burst from the page and imagination knows no bounds. As part of the Portsmouth100 celebrations, the Theatre Royal hosts Dickens & Co, a thrilling, immersive adventure packed with drama, music, song, dance, spoken word and unforgettable characters. Charles Dickens has lost the ending to his greatest unwritten story. Desperate for inspiration, he calls upon three of Portsmouth's literary giants, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling, to help him write the perfect finale. But their ideas take on a life of their own. Suddenly, Dickens’ most famous characters come alive, stepping out of the novels to argue, charm and fight for the ending they believe they deserve. From moments of laughter to heart-stirring emotion, every twist brings a new surprise. Featuring a vibrant cast alongside Portsmouth’s talented poets, actors, musicians, singers and dancers, Dickens & Co is a joyous celebration of creativity, community and storytelling. Expect captivating performances, live music, powerful poetry, dazzling choreography and plenty of unexpected moments as
