Penny Penniworth: A Story of Great Good Fortune
Central Square Theater
450 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge
450 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge
In this fanciful, imaginary "lost" epic from the pen of Charles Dickens, penniless Penny wanders a deliciously comic and convoluted maze of curious relationships, benevolent benefactors and astonishing self-discovery. Written by by Chris Weikel, the labyrinthine romp through Victorian literature follows a short-staffed theater troupe with Royal Shakespeare Company aspirations as they struggle to mount the gender-bending tale of true love thwarted, deception, abduction, and true love regained. Titanic Theatre Company presents the comic play's New England premiere at Central Square Theater.
