Saturday Play - Penny Gaffs and Angel Places

Posted by Mike Stevens on July 22, 2021 at 4:54pm

Mike Dorrell's play about Charles Dickens as the author tries to make sense of things during a walk contrasts idealised scenes of marriage from
Dickens's fiction with bitter reality. October 1857. As problems in Dickens's marriage come to a head, he feels the pressure mounting. One night, unable to sleep, he walks the 30 miles from his home in London to Gad's Hill in Kent. But he cannot shake off the voices in his head.

    Nice one Mike.

    Good to hear Siobhan Redmond again. I so enjoyed her as Jean Brash in the McLevy series.
