Winter Tales 2017

 In the UK

THE CHIMES

A fairytale of hard times by Charles Dickens


A match seller by John Leighton 1851
A new adaptation for 2017





In this performance Sam Weller comes out of retirement (from ‘The Pickwick Papers’) and takes you on an irreverent journey through the London streets to tell you the stories of the people he meets. 

Written the year after ‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘The Chimes’ again uses a fairytale with wonderfully contrasted characters to highlight the divide between rich and poor. It tells the story of the poor man Toby Veck (a street porter) and his daughter Meg (a seamstress). 

It is a moving and heartwarming tale.
