It is Margolyes' genius to drag the whole into each part, suffusing what in lesser hands would be rendered as mere caricature with individuality, life and love. In this, she is not merely Dickens' interpreter; she is Dickens' collaborator
FIVE stars are hard to come by in theatre reviews, as fault can almost always be found. But Dickens' Women is one of those rare productions where there are no apparent flaws.
Dickens' Women is one of the most enriching, entertaining and utterly glorious evenings I have ever spent at the theatre.
Miriam Margoyles brings the full panopoly of Victorian London to life through acting so sharp and skilled it looks like a form of possession.
Charles Dickens - the 'abuser' of women? Miriam Margolyes says Charles Dickens behaved like 'an abuser' towards women in a provocative and humorous new book.
