Compass Theatre Company presents Dickens’s classic, which is set in Coketown, a poverty-stricken world of heartless ‘facts’.

While callous businessmen such as Thomas Gradgrind and Josiah Boundergy thrive, Louisa and Thomas Gradgrind lead a loveless childhood… until the circus comes to town.

Compass Theatre Company is a regular at Greenwich, having previously performed Moby Dick, the Seagull and The Rivals at the venue.
