Hot on the heals of last year's record-breaking box office hit, 'A Christmas Carol - As told by Jacob Marley (deceased)', multi award-winning actor/writer and London Theatre Award Nominee, James Hyland (recent recipient of Best Performer in Theatre 2012 – Fringe Report Awards), returns with 'Fagin’s Last Hour'; based on the novel 'Oliver Twist' this May.

Charles Dickens’ classic tale of crime and punishment, is stunningly re-imagined in this powerful new stage adaptation. Told from the point of view of Fagin the Miser, one hour before his execution, this unique one-man show offers a fresh insight into literature’s most controversial villain.

"James Hyland presents another spellbinding show... Hyland plays all of the characters skillfully and convincingly giving, as Dickens undoubtedly intended, a glimpse into the nineteenth century criminal underworld... This new and original approach to Dickens will appeal to scholars and the uninitiated alike and could even lead to a revival of interest in the author... Being an inveterate showman himself, Charles Dickens would thoroughly approve." Graham Smith, The Dickens Fellowship.

Olivier Award Nominee Brings Award-Winning, Internationally-Acclaimed Shakespeare Show to

The Michael Croft Theatre, Dulwich

Following his award-winning run at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival, Gerard Logan (Olivier Award Nominee – RSC) will bring his electrifying, internationally-acclaimed solo presentation of The Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare’s brilliant, brutal narrative poem about the dreadful crime of rape and its aftershock, to the Michael Croft Theatre, Dulwich on Thursday 19th January 2012.

The show is directed by Gareth Armstrong, who has developed and directed many successful solo shows, including his own award-winning Shylock - achieving near-legendary status in Edinburgh Festival history.

The Rape of Lucrece has played to, and been rapturously-received by, packed houses throughout the UK (including sell-out runs this year at Bath Theatre Royal, Oxford Playhouse, Salisbury Playhouse and the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough), and abroad.
