What happens when 100 people from the region who have never met cometogether to tell the story of David Copperfield? What does this story mean to us today? How can we make it our own? And how do we build a community through the act of making theatre?
Following the story of David Copperfield from infancy to adulthood as he strives to find love an
d connection in a world that feels at times impossibly lonely and cruel, this epic tale is packed with some of Dickens’s most vivid characters including Peggotty, Betsey Trotwood, Steerforth, and Uriah Heap.
Working with acclaimed writing and directing team Sally Cookson and Mike Akers, whose productions of Jane Eyre and Peter Pan transferred from Bristol Old Vic to the National Theatre, this ambitious community production promises a thrilling adventure with visually stunning story telling including creative BSL Integration and live music.
All performances of David Copperfield: A Life will be BSL interpreted
