Little Dickens, Lewis Arts Complex

Sunday November 3, 2024
7:30 PM

Little Dickens, a new play by Princeton senior Molly Lopkin, follows a 12-year-old Charles Dickens after his family is thrown into debtor's prison. The young Dickens swears to write a novel so great that everyone will know he's better than the common guttersnipes, but when he falls in with a pack of thieving, cursing urchins, he'll have to choose between the acclaim he has always wanted and the friends he never thought he would make. Drawing from Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Dickens' autobiography, Little Dickens blends truth, lies and literature to examine the fine borders between them and what happens when they are crossed for the sake of popularity. Co-directed by senior Andrew Duke and first-year student Margalit Ramirez. *Free and open to the public. Tickets required for performances.
