Nell Trent lives with her grandfather above The Curiosity Shop, a vintage record store. When the shop is repossessed by Quilp, a malignant loan shark, Nell and Grandpa are forced to hit the road.

Living rough, they meet the usual suspects – conmen, Good Samaritans, wide boys and buskers - in cities and villages across England.

Imaginatively translated to the present day, Dickens' story of love, human frailty and downright wickedness has a fabulous cast of characters, from bent lawyer Sally Brass to wide boy rapper Dick E. Swiveller.

Playfully staged and featuring film projection and a soundtrack that takes in hits from Bach to Bowie, Curiosity Shop shows England to be as much a cultural curiosity shop as it ever was in Dickens' day...

Theatre Alibi's recent productions include Spies, The Ministry of Fear, Goucher's War and The Crowstarver.
