"Dickens' Women is a tour de force" - The Age
"Margolyes is never less than virtuosic" - The Australian
"A truly spellbinding performance" - The Hobart Mercury
Take a trip into history, through the lives of the women in Charles Dickens’ life both real and fictional.
Award-winning British actor Miriam Margolyes is one of the most knowledgeable and brilliant interpreters of Charles Dickens and her wonderful sense of humour shines as she traces the startling similarities of the women in Dickens’ work and his life.
Among the 23 different characters (male and female) brought to life by Miriam you’ll find The Old Curiosity Shop’s Little Nell, loyal Mrs Micawber from David Copperfield (inspired by Dickens’ own mother) and the cold embittered Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.
Laughter and tears combine in this entertaining show and some surprising revelations are made in the show the Herald Sun called "Immense fun".
Dickens’ Women has been acclaimed around the world, and Miriam’s West
End season in the Duke of York Theatre earned her an Olivier Award nomination.
