About

All the tradition of a Charles Dickens’ classic but with much much more, this Christmas the Octagon Theatre brings you Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield – a story filled with adventure, excitement and wonder.

Charles Dickens said of all his heroes: “I have in my heart of hearts a favourite… and his name is David Copperfield”

Like a Dickensian Harry Potter, David leads us on a magical journey, encountering villains and challenges that will have you on the edge of your seat.  The Octagon stage is transformed into a magical playground as David sets sail on the high seas in a playful world full of puppets, donkeys, music and invention.

A brilliant cast of young actors from across the region will be performing alongside professional actor musicians, with original new music and songs to get you in the festive spirit!
