Callow’s one-man masterpiece

In this captivating theatrical event he tells the stories of Dr Marigold, a travelling salesman who adopts a little deaf and dumb girl and Mr Chops, a freak-show turn who wins the lottery and a place in society.

Callow is a virtuoso storyteller who has already presented the life of Britain’s greatest novelist in The Mystery of Charles Dickens in both the West End and on Broadway. He recently played Pozzo in Waiting for Godot and has starred in the Oscar-winning films A Room with a View, Howard’s End, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love.

Dr Marigold and Mr Chops is adapted by Patrick Garland. These monologues, which were hugely popular when Dickens himself performed them on his famed reading tours, provide a masterly blend of the comic, bizarre and poignant that is classic Dickens.
