Synopsis

A rogue's gallery of outrageous clowns and cunning charlatans come to life in On My Own, Ian Mairs' lively adaptation of David Copperfield.

The early chapters of the Dickens classic take center stage, as young David struggles to make his way in the world after his mother dies.

Though David finds cruelty at the hands of stepfathers, schoolmasters, and swindlers, it's the surprising kindness and compassion he encounters that stay with him as he searches for a place to call home.

This playfully-paced, colorful adaptation is the perfect way to introduce a new generation to the beloved story of David Copperfield.
