Olive Copperbottom

By Charles Dickens and Penny Ashton.
Starring Penny Ashton.

Following the delights of Promise and Promiscuity in 2018, Penny Ashton swaps Austen for Dickens and brings orphaned hero Olive, and a squalid gaggle of hilarious Victorians, to crusty life. A rollicking, romantic journey through fifteen gin-soaked characters told with song, dance and questionable personal hygiene.

Featuring reworkings of classical masters such as Chopin, Verdi and Tchaikovsky. It’s Oliver! meets Blackadder with a saucy feminine twist.

"Sparkles with intelligence, wit and verve." - The Christchurch Press
