Dickens' Women at The Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre

Bringing to life twenty-three of Charles Dickens' most affecting and colourful female (and male!) characters, Margolyes presents her powerful, comprehensive, and at times hilarious exposé of Dickens, his writing, and the real-life women who found themselves immortalised in his books. This strictly limited season is part of the worldwide celebrations of 200 years of Charles Dickens in 2012. Don't miss your chance to see this acclaimed actor in the roles she was born to play. An international icon of stage and screen, Miriam Margolyes is one of the world's most celebrated character actresses.

In film, Margolyes has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest films including with Barbara Streisand in Yentl, Magnolia, and with Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith in Ladies in Lavender. In 1996 she starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as the hispanic Nurse in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, and most recently has appeared as Professor Sprout in the film adaptations of Harry Potter. Margolyes was the winner of a BAFTA-award for Best Supporting Actress in Martin Scorcese's The Age of Innocence. She has also received Best Supporting Actress at the LA Critics

Circle Awards, a Sony Radio Award for Best Actress and an Olivier Award nomination for Dickens' Women."
