Summer Vacation
What the Dickens! is an improvised comedy in the irreverent style of Charles Dickens. Expect big characters, with even bigger hats, as The Cambridge Impronauts (***** The Tab) transport you back to the timeless era of Dickensian London.
Your suggestions, including a title of the work, and a twist in its plot, inspire a unique comic creation; one of the many that Dickens himself never got round to writing. Whether it contains plucky orphans, devilish businessmen or tyrannical step-parents; each story has never been seen before, nor will it be seen again.
