Touring outdoor theatre company Rain or Shine returns to Swanage this August during Lifeboat Week with another family-friendly production.
Enjoy a hilarious, fast-paced adaptation of Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers in the town’s amphitheatre.
“Join Mr Pickwick and his eccentric band of companions as they bumble their way through confusing courtships, courtroom shenanigans, questionable duels, and carriage rides gone terribly wrong.”
