Miriam Margolyes In Dickens' Women

Andrew McKinnon & AMcK Fine Entertainment
in association with Richard Jordan Productions Ltd and Peter Wilson Productions

Celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Charles Dickens when award-winning British actress Miriam Margolyes returns to New Zealand for an encore national tour of her one-woman show, Dickens’ Women.

Bringing to life twenty-three of Charles Dickens’ most affecting and colourful characters, Margolyes presents her powerful, comprehensive, and at times hilarious exposé of Dickens the writer and the man, and the real-life women who found themselves immortalised on his pages.

An international icon of stage and screen, Miriam Margolyes is one of the world’s most celebrated character actors. She is known for her many film, television and stage roles, including Martin Scorsese's Age of Innocence, Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet, Happy Feet, Yentl, Blackadder, as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, and as Madame Morrible in the Broadway and West End productions of Wicked.

Nominated for an Olivier Award and with tours throughout the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and India, don’t miss your chance to see this acclaimed actor in her heartfelt dedication to one of the best-loved and most prolific writers of the English language.

“A virtuoso display… Margolyes’ genius is to entertain, fascinate and challenge.” - THE GUARDIAN

“We certainly cannot argue about the quality of this wonderful entertainment and the extraordinary talents of Margolyes” - THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Her passion is as much a subject of the evening as the author himself. Anyone who loves to read will recognise her devotion, her attention, and will be enchanted by her gift at transforming the pleasures of the text into the pleasures of the stage.” - LOS ANGELES TIME

“She’s a woman of character, in looks and personality, and no one writes characters like Charles Dickens. A match made in heaven.” - THEATRE REVIEW NZ
