Tour No: 6
The Old Curiosity Shop
by Northumberland Theatre Company
It's not about a shop at all. Charles Dickens changed his mind. It's a journey, a flight undertaken by the girl Nell and her gambling-addicted Grandfather. A flight from demons and enemies.
In this innovative and spellbinding adaptation, the two main characters are played by the same actor, reflecting the struggle between good and evil. True to the inner life of the book, the production shows Dickens at his best, funniest and as a master of the grotesque.
