The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby: Part I
Charles Dickens
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (Abridged Version)
by Charles Dickens, David Edgar
Synopsis
THE STORY: This is an abridged version of David Edgar's Tony Award®-winning two-part adaptation of NICHOLAS NICKLEBY that reduces the cast requirements and the running time by more than two hours, so that the entire show may be performed in a single evening.
As with David Edgar's original adaptation, the sum total is a brilliant recapturing of the sights and sounds of Victorian England, and the touching, funny, exhilarating saga of the virtuous young Nicholas as he meets and masters the challenges of poverty and corruption.
In the end the play is a soaring affirmation of man's essential goodness—a thrilling, eloquent rendering of the diverse people, places and events which, in Dickens' time or in ours, make up the real stuff of life and draw on the deepest resources of the human spirit.
