While Dickens never lived in Devon he did have several connections to Exeter.

About the show
In this engaging and unique one-man show, Lloyd Lee is Charles Dickens, our greatest storyteller - in reflective mood.
Share the astonishment and bewilderment that the great author himself felt as he takes us on a journey through his eventful childhood; in the company of his delightfully dotty parents.
One by one, he conjures up for our delectation and delight, the characters that were inspired by his early experiences; interweaving these dramatistations with the narrative of his childhood.
Sometimes mirthful, sometimes touching, sometimes sinister; he makes it clear to us how his humble and sometimes troubled beginnings, made him the giant of literature we know and love.
