The Ghosts of Mr Dickens
Untold Theatre
by Avril Silk & Martin Levinson
After two sold-out shows, Untold Theatre returns to Cygnet Theatre.
The year is 1867 and, aboard the SS Cuba, Charles Dickens set sail for his final tour of America. During his journey, the renowned author becomes plagued with guilt-ridden visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life appear alongside characters from his stories. These spirits return to guide (and taunt) him.
As reality blurs into fiction, the author is compelled to revisit the sins of his past.
But this is no tale of redemption.
This production combines ensemble performance and striking digital projections to explore the final years of Charles Dickens.
