Bleak House

1 February– 7 March 2020

Blackwell's Bookshop, Oxford

The culmination of our 9 year partnership with the iconic Blackwell’s Bookshop in Oxford, Bleak House was a feast for the senses. With beautiful musical arrangements, heavenly singing and live piano and violin, this show was a top notch high quality Creation classic. At the time we had no idea it would be the last show see out its run for nearly two years, but what a show to go out on!

Get a feel for the show with our feature on That’s TV.

“Creation always offers something subversive and clever, and in this case, it’s transformed this Dickens classic into a fast-paced, funny, contemporary production.” Muddy Stilettos

“With its production of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House, Oxford’s Creation Theatre has done the impossible; it has presented us with a riveting, luxuriant, and nuanced telling of an intensely complex, intricate and lengthy classic.” Plays to see
