Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions by Charles Dickens

Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions brings Charles Dickens's beloved storyteller vividly to life in an acclaimed Edinburgh fringe adaptation by award-winning BBC writer, and actor Ian Pearce (New York Radio Festival 2025)

As popular in Dickens's own performances as A Christmas Carol , this engaging tale, reveals the author at his most entertaining and humane. Pearce plays the quick witted cheapjack, Doctor Marigold, whose comic, showmanship masks, a deeply, moving story of loss and unexpected love. Set in the lively world of Victorian fairgrounds, it follows Marigold's journey from hardship to hope as he cares for a deaf child, forming a bond beyond words.

A warm humorous, and touching solo performance, perfect for Christmas and must not be missed! “The word ‘breathtaking ’ is not too strong a term to describe this performance” Edinburgh Fringe Reviews. “Pearce carries it off in style” Broadway Baby ★★★★ “An absorbing story, told with aplomb” Broadway Baby
