Victorian slums, dirty orphans, and conniving villains pour onto stage like the billowing smoke from a London smokestack in Synergy Theater’s Spontaneous Charles Dickens. Can kindness, goodwill and humility win out against cruelty, greed, and corruption? Does a beating heart lurk beneath the skin of that grossly exaggerated caricature? And, is anybody ever the true hero of their own life? Find out in this completely improvised tale in the style of Charles Dickens, the greatest Victorian novelist of all!
