Nicholas Nickleby

Nicholas Nickleby' combines comedy and tragedy in a tale of triumph over adversity, where Nickleby succeeds despite social injustice, in a story that mirrors Dickens' own rise from poverty to great success.

Let me put it simply and plainly. The Royal Shakespeare Company in THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY is one of the great theatrical experiences of our time.

Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens' books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes.
