David Copperfield is Dickens’ storytelling at its best, and from tonight Titchfield Festival Theatre brings this stunning adaptation to life.

David Copperfield is a boy making his way in the world, and finding himself as a man and a writer. Throughout the play you will be introduced to all the favourite characters as David Copperfield winds his way through life with a loving mother and doting nanny, through to a wicked stepfather, downtrodden schoolboy and a ‘working hind’ to his saviour in Aunt Betsy, Mr Dick and Tommy Traddles.

Working on a multi layered set representing rooms in David’s life the cast of 25 tell of David’s trials and tribulations, his heartache and eventual happiness. In true Dickens style, all the characters are colourful, vivacious and eager to tell a story. All of this is wonderfully told by this multi-talented cast, with many playing two or three roles.

Artistic Director of Titchfield Festival Theatre and the director of David Copperfield, Kevin Fraser says: "Of all the Dickens stories this has to be one of my favourites.

"It is crammed full of colourful characters and a rich tapestry of life runs through the whole book.

"Frank Veresi has brought us a wonderful adaption that our audiences will adore. Patrons are in for a treat, a roller coaster of emotions from laughter and fun to terror and grief.

"It is all here, just as Dickens wrote it using his own words. If you love Dickens, enjoy a great story or want a brilliant Victorian evening you simply can’t miss David Copperfield."

David Copperfield opens tonight until April 21 in the Oak Theatre, St Margarets Lane, Titchfield. For more information, please go to: www.titchfieldfestivaltheatre.com or contact the Box Office on 01329 556156.
