An educational
theatre piece that evokes school nostalgia in adults, whilst entertaining and
enlightening young ones. From schools to food, The Pickwick Papers to
the The Mystery of Edwin Drood, nothing is left out on this exciting journey through an hour so stuffed with fun and facts about Charles Dickens and Victorian
Britain that heads are left spinning.
Whilst
highly informative this production needs to acknowledge the message that ‘less
is more’. This was not a dash, but rather a full on sprint through the life and
works of one of Britain’s indisputable literary geniuses. With a trimmed
content and a slower pace this is a winner.
There can never be enough educational theatre in this country. It plays a vital role in laying down the foundations of love and appreciation for history, literature and the arts within young people and I applaud any theatre company that does it with the passion and enthusiasm that the Take Away Theatre Company does.
