GONZO MOOSE presents:
What The Dickens?
Young Charles Dickens is a rookie reporter on The Morning Chronicle. Whilst investigating the foggy slums of Ye Olde London Towne, he accidently stumbles on a story that could make his reputation. Follow our hero on the adventure of a lifetime!
Expect a world of pockmarked pickpockets, cobwebby convicts, teeming slums and empty marshes, dark secrets and convoluted plots, and lots and lots of fog….
This inventive and gripping comedy features just three actors playing over 20 roles in 80 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action.
Having delighted audiences over the past year with their hit shows, Grimm And Grimmer and I’m An Aristocrat, Get Me Out Of Here!, Gonzo Moose return with their classic production What The Dickens? That brims with unfeasibly quick costume changes, stupidly surreal characters and wonderfully daft jokes.
