Back by popular demand, Compass Theatre Company present their spellbinding production of Charles Dickens’ Hard Times adapted by Stephen Jeffreys. In Coketown, callous businessmen, Thomas Gradgrind and Josiah Bounderby, have created a logical, heartless world. While these monsters prosper, children endure a cold and loveless life. But their unhappy world is transformed when Sleary’s Circus comes to town.
Compass have been touring productions acclaimed for their passion, intelligence and style since 1981 and Hard Times comes hot on the heels of their Moby Dick, The Seagull, and The Rivals.
"Excellent…Wickedly funny…Captures Dickens’ manic energies" The Guardian
"Remarkable…Superb…A hugely impressive production" The Liverpool Echo
