Simon Callow brings Dickens' show to Malvern
VIRTUOSO storyteller Simon Callow brings two one-man plays by Charles Dickens, Dr Marigold and Mr Chops, to Malvern Theatres from Monday until November 19.
In an absorbing theatrical event Callow tells the stories of Dr Marigold, a travelling salesman who adopts a little deaf and dumb girl and Mr Chops, a freak-show turn who wins the lottery and a place in society.
Adapted by Patrick Garland, the two pieces, hugely popular when Dickens himself performed them on his famed reading tours, provide a masterly blend of the comic, bizarre and poignant that is classic Dickens.
