What the Dickens?

Briton's TNT Theater is bringing its latest version of David Copperfield to Guangdong's provincial capital Guangzhou.

Literary magnate Charles Dickens described David Copperfield as his "favorite child" because the growing pains of the child protagonist are reminiscent of Dickens' own early life.

The critical realistic writer displayed the tragedies of broken families and pierced the social problems in the Victorian Age, such as urban and rural disparities.

TNT Theater will stick to its tradition of using live music performances in the Guangzhou show.

8 pm, April 6 and 7. Concert Hall, Xinghai Concert Hall, 33 Qingbo Lu, Er-sha Island, Yuexiu district, Guangzhou. 020-8735-2222.
