Dickens in Love!
20 November 7:30 PM
Meet a range of Dickensian characters and explore their different approaches to love ranging from Pip and Estelle (Great Expectations), Nancy and Bill (Oliver Twist), Mr and Mrs Micawber (David Copperfield) and Uriah Heep and his Mother (David Copperfield), plus one or two surprise appearances from the fertile mind of Mr Dickens’ himself. Oh, there might even be a seasonal appearance from Ebenezer Scrooze himself (A Christmas Carol). Read more about this event … or
Accidental Death of an Anarchist
21 November 7:30 PM
A man has ‘fallen’ to his death from a window whilst in police custody. Accidents happen, but did he jump or was he pushed? And what is the significance of the ill-fated Mancunian salsa dancer? Brace yourselves for an evening of riotous political farce and sparkling satire as Northern Broadsides brings you Dario Fo’s comic tour de force, ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’.
A brilliant exposé of police corruption rooted in real events in 1960s Italy – this contemporary adaptation brings the play closer to home, to northern England, and revels in Dario Fo’s anarchic genius.
Northern Broadsides’ exuberant cast of charismatic northern actors will unashamedly ‘big up’ the sheer lunacy of the plot whilst chillingly exposing the issues of our time … with disturbing hilarity. Think Have I Got News For You meets Life on Mars, and be prepared for an outrageously entertaining theatre experience. Read more about this event … or
