  • Allow time to get to The Cockpit and find the entrance on Gateforth Street before the performance.
  • The production uses a bare stage and one performer, so expect a voice-led telling rather than elaborate staging.
  • Read Dickens' original story beforehand if you want to follow the characters and scenes as they unfold.
