17 – 19 May, 31 May – 2 June

This May/June at The Wardrobe Theatre, Bristol, we’re thrilled to be presenting NO EXPECTATIONS: THE UNSCRIPTED DICKENS by Closer Each Day Company. The show sees a brand new and completely unique Dickensian tale conjured every night by the creators of Bristol’s uplifting comedy hit, Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera, which also celebrates its 200th episode this June.

Misty alleyways, raucous taverns, evil landlords and endearing orphans – No Expectations: The Unscripted Dickens breathes life into Victorian England with Closer Each Day Company’s fresh and welcoming style of improvised comedy theatre.

Midnight, 1860, and a struggling novelist is suffering terribly with writers’ block. Nothing can inspire their latest story until a few audience suggestions light a spark in their imagination…

Previously entitled Steamed: A Dickensian Improvised Tale, the show has thrilled sold out audiences at Brunel’s SS Great Britain, Salisbury Playhouse and across the South West. Don’t miss the chance to see this entirely spontaneous and deliciously Dickensian show that will leave you asking, ‘Please sir, can I have some more?’.
