Gathering together to celebrate a very special birthday

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.

A word in earnest is as good as a speech.

Injustice breeds injustice

Accidents will occur in the best regulated families

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another

Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some

The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.

Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,--they do, thank God!

Hard Times

Queens Park Arts Centre, Aylesbury, Bucks, HP21 7RT
Sat, 17th November 2012 - Sat, 17th November 2012

 

Cambridge Touring Theatre presents...
HARD TIMES by Charles Dickens

To celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Charles Dickens in 2012, Nick Ellis will be performing ‘Hard Times’ at theatre venues across the UK. Following on from his successful tour of Pirate Jenny Nick Ellis becomes the many voices of Hard Times, including the retentive Gradgrind and the overbearing Mr Bounderby.
A seasoned musician and performer he delivers the story backed up by his own images and his own original music.

In this magnificent story, Dickens changed the course of British social history, throwing a light on today’s ‘hard times’.
