The Pickwick Papers
To coincide with the author's bicentenary, 2012's summer tour in the open-air will be an adaptation of Charles Dickens'
The Pickwick Papers
by Doc Watson
Jenny Wren Productions invite you to join the jolly Mr Pickwick and his friend Mr Winkle as they journey around the English countryside. Warning: along the way, you may find yourselves embroiled in a series of adventures, accidents, and altercations – there will be fights, chases, elopements and even, if you’re not careful, a prison stay. All the classic characters will be there – cheerful Cockney Sam Weller, comic villain Mr Jingle and sleepy Joe, aka ‘Fat Boy’.
"Stagecoaches are unsettling in all directions, horses are bolting, boats overturning and boilers are bursting... Today my travels begin."
The tour will begin at Court Lodge Garden in Randwick, nr. Stroud on July 14th 2012 and venues will include Berkeley Castle, Cowley Manor, the Tuckwell Amphitheatre and Highnam Court. We will also bring the show to the Everyman Studio Theatre in late October 2012. Watch this space for further details...
