The talent of Mr Dickens was incredible, and the boys were thoroughly engaged throughout.

It isn't easy to captivate the attention of a young audience with one actor playing so many roles but the way in which he transitioned between characters, and his stage presence kept the boys engaged.

I think the lighting and sound effects really added to the performance.

In a world of technology those aspects keep the engagement high! 5 starsThe pupils really enjoyed the show - they were amazed at how the actor remembered every word and how he brought Dickens’ text to life.

Seeing it performed as a one man show surprised them at first, but it captivated them further as they realised how skilfully he embodied all the different characters.

This helped them to understand more deeply how Dickens would have wanted the text to be displayed, and the messages came across with real clarity.

They particularly loved the QA section and I even had staff members that discussed how they did not know about Little Fan being a representation of his own sister etc.

A Fantastic showFrom a customer experience perspective, the theatre was wonderful - and perfectly suited to such a play.

The atmosphere really enhanced the pupils’ engagement and made the performance feel special.

Overall, it was a great location and a memorable performance that had a real impact on the pupils. 10/10_Drop off for coaches is right outside the building.
