During the interval, a Victorian Buffet, including dishes made to recipes by Mrs Dickens by The Borough, Dalton Square, will be served.

After the performance, to be attended by the Mayor of Lancaster and her consort, there will be an opportunity to ‘Meet the Cast’ for a talk-back and questions-and answers session for twenty minutes or so.
