Bah, humbug? Not a chance! “What the Dickens?” is a sparkling celebration of words, music and theatre that’s guaranteed to chase away the winter gloom. Join Portsmouth’s poets, authors and performers as they reimagine Dickens’ best-loved characters with a festive twist – from Scrooge himself to the ghosts that still haunt our imaginations.
Expect dramatic performances, immersive storytelling, and a rousing sing-along to warm even the chilliest of hearts. Highlights include a special reading from Tim Suffolk of the Dickens Fellowship and a spirited performance from a local choir.
It’s a night of merriment, mischief and magic – a tribute to Dickens with a modern Portsmouth flavour.
