Penny Penniworth is a labyrinthine romp through 19th-century English literature as presented by an enterprising (if understaffed) theatre troupe who has gamely decided to produce a "lost" Dickens epic.
Penny, a down-on-her-luck Dickensian waif, has been deprived of her fortune and her country estate by the untimely death of her hapless father. Off she must go to London and navigate her way among unscrupulous suitors, incorrigible urchins, and anonymous benefactors.
This rollicking play is a tour de force for four actors who portray a cavalcade of comic characters in a gender-bending tale of true love thwarted, wealth, deception, abduction, and true love regained.
