a play in one act

All fourteen (and a half!) novels by Charles Dickens performed in a single hour, you say? Impossible? Not for the Crummles company! Join five intrepid performers, portraying more than 50 characters, as they perform a comic rendition of all the books by England's most famous novelist, from The Pickwick Papers to the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood. This Dickens of a play will have students rolling in the aisles while also introducing them to the works of a classic and timeless author.
