The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby

David Edgar's extraordinary two-part adaptation of Dickens' great comic masterpiece became a landmark production on its RSC premiere in 1980. Not then performed in the UK until last summer here in Chichester, it is a unique theatrical event not to be missed. Performed by a company of 27 actors, David Edgar's new version of Nicholas Nickleby is presented across two performances, combining to create an experience of rare scope and genuine scale. There are opportunities to experience this exhilarating spectacle, afternoon and evening, all in one day. The ebullient narrative follows Nicholas, left penniless on the death of his father, as he escapes the influence of his villainous Uncle Ralph and the tyrannical schoolmaster Wackford Squeers and embarks on a thrilling journey through 1830s' England. Dickens' genius for creating eccentric, exuberant and captivating characters is brought vividly to life in this action-packed epic as theatrical spectacle and genuine big-heartedness flawlessly combine. David Edgar's work includes Albert Speer and Playing with Fire for the National Theatre, Destiny, The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs, Maydays and Pentecost for the RSC, as well as numerous plays for the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
