About Fagin’s Last Hour
Charles Dickens’ dark tale of crime and punishment is stunningly re-imagined in this multi-award-winning stage adaptation, recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian scholarship.
Told from the point of view of Fagin, one hour before his execution, this unique and powerful one-man show offers a fresh insight into literature’s most controversial villain.

Reviews
“James Hyland has a powerful ability to portray numerous characters… When one actor can emulate an entire cast, that is a powerful thing!… His acting was raw, honest, and profound. This was a brilliantly executed re-imagining of Charles Dickens’s tale” ★★★★★
Kashmini Shah, Voice Magazine
“With his sheer physical presence, Hyland’s Fagin is more than just the devious and pathetic wretch we are so familiar with, he’s also dangerously threatening… Intense, provocative and often downright scary” ★★★★★
Simon Ball, Simon’s Horrible Hothouse of Horror
“Compelling throughout. Hyland’s presentation exploits his vocal range and his extreme athleticism… He has an uncanny ability to convince every member of an audience seated on two adjacent sides of a square auditorium that he is addressing them personally… do try to see his performance. You won’t forget it” ★★★★★
Tom Aitken, Plays To See
