One of Charles Dickens’ best loved stories is Little Dorrit, a sentimental rags-to-riches story of an amiable and kind girl who regularly visits her impoverished father in the debtors’ prison. A watch with a mysterious message signals a change of fortune for the Dorrit family in this engaging musical production of the story.
If you’re looking for something light and entertaining with a good old-fashioned happy ending look no further. The old music hall tunes remain in the head long after seeing this fine production from University of Gloucestershire Drama and Performing Arts Students.
