WHAT’S ON IN YOUR COUNT Y
Dickens is so intrigued by the whimsical Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that he accepts. What ensues is a baring of two creative souls, the one private and fastidious, the other boisterous and irreverent.
As Dodgson struggles to capture a ‘perfect likeness’ of Dickens, Dickens craftily pries into Dodgson's personal life to get a handle on one of the most curious men he has ever met.
The result is a hilarious and revealing conversation between two quirky, fascinating and completely different men.
A Perfect Likeness is showing at the Swan Theatre in Worcester on September 29. For tickets visit
