Tinderbox - a new musical stagework – dramatizes, using their own words, an explosive moment in July 1857, when world-famous stage and fiction-writers Charles Dickens and Hans Christian Andersen met at Dickens’ family home in Kent. Engaging contemporary music with a romantic flavour frames comedy, mesmerism and gothic performance-interludes, revealing the literary passions which make their work relevant today, as well as the tensions between the authors ... against the background of the personal crisis Charles and his wife Catherine face.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
