Following sellout performances in 2007, BAFTA®-award winning actress Miriam Margolyes returns to Australia for an encore national tour of her one-woman tour-de-force, Dickens' Women.
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.
Written by Margolyes and director Sonia Fraser, for Edinburugh Festival, Dickens’ Women has been performed worldwide, with acclaimed performances in London, New York, Australia, Jerusalem, New Zealand and India.
This strictly limited national tour 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.
"... a genuine chameleon" - Sunday Herald Sun
“When she appears as herself, Margolyes sparkles with intelligence and enthusiasm... when she inhabits a character, you’d swear they lived and breathed in front of you.” - The Age
"Immense fun..." - The Australian
Show Duration 2hrs (inc 20min interval)
