White Rabbit present

Special announcement: Complicite's Amanda Hadingue has been confirmed as a violinist and guest reader

A Charles Dickens Special

White Rabbit invites you in, away from the swirling London fog and the clutches of Jack Frost’s icy fingers. Cosy down and enjoy original short stories for adults in a magical atmosphere, read aloud by Bernadette Russell, Gareth Brierley and special guest readers.

The stories are written by the company and a selection of local writers, accompanied by beautiful visuals and sweetly old fashioned music. This evening's stories will be inspired by Charles Dickens, in celebration of his bicentenary, and the dank dark mystery of 19^th century London will be brought to life and into the 21^st century.

Features competitions, prizes and Victorian parlour games!

Join us for a cosy evening of cracking stories, cute cakes and comfy chairs.

“The novelty of being read to, sat in a basement in the middle of the night with a midnight feast of children’s party food, is irresistible…an enchanted night.” Total Theatre

“Remember being read to as a child? Imagine that feeling recreated, for grown ups, and you have the essence of White Rabbit’s “Are You Sitting Comfortably”. The Daily Express
