Pickwick Papers  - Charles Dickens, Dore Abbey Hereford

About

Open Air Summer Theatre in the grounds of Dore Abbey.

Please bring own seating, gates open at 6.30pm for picnics, indoors if wet.

In the Summer of 2026, Rain or Shine plan to take you into the delightfully chaotic Victorian world of The Pickwick Papers, where misadventure and merriment collide in a whirlwind of Dickensian absurdity! Join the lovable Mr. Pickwick and his eccentric band of companions as they bumble their way through confusing courtships, courtroom shenanigans, questionable duels, and carriage rides gone terribly wrong. Expect fast-paced wit, slapstick, more multi-rolling mayhem, and a cast of larger-than-life characters in this brand new and hilarious adaptation by Jon Legg.
