A Perfect Likeness

a comedy by Daniel Rover Singer (Reduced Shakespeare Company)

Reclusive writer and photographer Charles Dodgson (AKA Lewis Carroll) invites celebrity author Charles Dickens to his Oxford home to pose for a portrait.  Dickens is so intrigued by the whimsical Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that he accepts.

What ensues is a baring of two creative souls, the one private and fastidious, the other boisterous and irreverent.  As Dodgson struggles to capture a “perfect likeness” of Dickens, Dickens craftily pries into Dodgson’s personal life to get a handle on one of the most curious men he has ever met.  The result is a hilarious and revealing conversation between two quirky, fascinating, and completely different men.

So lovely and entertaining that you want it to be true - Lynn Felder, Winston-Salem Journal
