Adapted from a BBC Radio 4 comedy series, Mark Evans' play has been described as the riotous story Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin! And, crucially, had he lived for another 152 years.
Follow half-orphan Pip's extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and deflect disaster at every turn! Will evil be vanquished by virtue?
