by Simon Gray

November 27 - December 6 2008

Charles Dickens was not only a wonderfully inventive writer, he was also a master of obfuscation. Few people realised that he kept a mistress, a younger woman who shared his life, unknown to the outside world. Simon Gray's masterly play tells two parallel stories. We see Dickens wooing and winning the young actress Ellen Ternan, setting her up in her own home and sharing a life away from his proper family. At his death, Ellen re-emerges, married to a school teacher by whom she has a son. To uncover the mystery of his mother's past, her son calls on Dickens' son Sir Henry - an eminent lawyer - and the truth unfolds. The play shines an intelligent light on an interlude that has all the fascination of a story by Dickens himself.

The Open Day held at The Miller Centre on Saturday 8 November was a great success despite the weather.

There was a steady stream of visitors from 10am, taking a keen interest in the display of the various activities of the Centre.

Guided tours of the theatre, wardrobe, backstage and control room were very popular and many members were on hand to meet people, answer questions and provide a welcoming cup of coffee.
