New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth
“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 leap from the page in this spectacular immersive production bursting with theatre, live music, song, dance, spoken word and unforgettable characters.
Charles Dickens has lost the ending to his greatest unwritten story. Seeking inspiration, he calls upon Portsmouth's literary sons—Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling—but soon Dickens' most beloved characters come to life, each determined to claim the ending for themselves.
Featuring an incredible cast alongside Portsmouth's talented poets, actors, musicians, singers and dancers, Dickens & Co is a joyful celebration of imagination, creativity and our city's extraordinary artistic talent.
Expect laughter, emotion, stunning performances and plenty of surprises as you become part of a living literary world.
