Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions

Following huge success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival over the last two years, performer Ian Pearce is bringing this heart-warming and colourful Dickens tale to life in Doctor Marigold’s breathless sales patter! Doctor Marigold, named after the doctor who delivered him, is a "cheap-jack" who hawks sundries from a travelling cart he inhabits with his wife and his daughter Sophy. The story follows the rise and fall of his fortunes, his adoption of a mute circus girl, love, loss and hope, delivering on all of the wonderful twists and turns we have come to expect of a Dickens classic. The word ‘breath taking’ is not too strong a term to describe this performance! Mesmerising, stunning, awe-inspiring. Audience Reviews, Edinburgh Fringe 2015 "A gem of a show. Storytelling at its most wonderful." Audience Reviews, Edinburgh Fringe 2015 Charles Dickens the master storyteller himself would surely give a nod to Ian Pearce for bringing Doctor Marigold so gloriously to life. Rob Johnson Breath Out Theatre, Manchester 2015 “Amazing acting and beautiful storytelling! I wasn't familiar with this Dickens story, so I had no idea how the plot would unfold. I was engaged from start to finish with Pearce's touching storytelling and hung on to every word.” Audience Reviews, Edinburgh Fringe 2014
