59E59 Theaters will present eight diverse UK productions at the Brits Off Broadway 2026 festival, showcasing a range of dramatic and comedic works.

Guildford Shakespeare Company will bring Dickens’ favourite creation, David Copperfield to Guildford following its acclaimed London premiere as part of its 20th Anniversary Season.

Dickens draws the most remarkable characters, there are few writers with whom we remember their characters above all else, but I think he is one of them. From Fagin to the Artful Dodger, Marley to Scrooge, Wilkins Micawber to Uriah Heep, he has created some of the most famous characters in literary history. What a privilege it has been to bring some of these characters to life on stage in David Copperfield.

This David Copperfield is far more than a cheap facsimile of its source material. There is room here for all the observational humour of Dickens’ writing, but also for all the pains and lessons of growing up.

Jermyn Street Theatre has announced full casting for Guildford Shakespeare Company's new adaptation of David Copperfield. Abigail Pickard Price directs Luke Barton, Louise Beresford, and Eddy Payne.
