Andersen's English

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Sebastian Barry 

  • Suíomh

    The Dickens' family home in rural Kent; the mid-19th century.

  • Achoimre

    Celebrated children's writer Hans Christian Andersen arrives, unannounced, for a stay at Gad's Hill Place in the Kent marshes - home to Charles Dickens and his large, charismatic family.

    To the lonely and eccentric guest, the members of Dicken's household seem to live a life of unreachable bliss. But with his broken English, Andersen doesn't at first see the tensions in the family: undeclared passions, a son sent to serve in India, and a growing strangeness at the heart of Dickens's marriage.
